boy, 7, would have plenty of money if he was only able to keep his fool mouth shut.
AP - TAMPA, Fla. - A first-grader searching his jacket pocket for money found a bag of crack cocaine worth $8,900, authorities said Wednesday.
The 7-year-old boy found the bag Tuesday at Forest Hills Elementary School. It contained 89 grams [3.1oz] of crack, said Tampa police spokeswoman Lisa Parashis.
The boy had been reaching in his jacket when he felt the bag, “got scared and told his teacher,” Parashis said.
Authorities were interviewing the boy and his relatives.
jay: it’s pretty cool that he brought enough to share. 3.1oz may seem like a lot of crack, but if you’ve ever seen seven-year-olds on a binge, you’ll know that he probably brought just enough. nice estimating, timmy.
dan: want to know what’s funny? this one time i put on an old pair of jeans and i found twenty bucks in the fifth pocket. and what did i do with it? i bought twenty dollars worth of crack cocaine!
