Dumb Cop Story

WQAD.com Police in Aurora have confirmed that a 12-year-old boy who said he brought powdered sugar to school for a science project last week has been charged with a felony for possessing a look-alike drug. The sixth grade student at Waldo Middle School in Aurora also was suspended for two weeks from school after showing the bag of powdered sugar to his friends. The boy, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, said two other boys asked if the bag contained cocaine after he showed it to them in the bathroom Wednesday morning. The boy's mother said he told them it did, but then added, "just kidding." Aurora police arrested the boy after a custodian at the school reported the boy's comments. The youngster was taken to the police station and detained before being released to his parents that afternoon. A felony for having powered sugar? This is just a lack of common sense. Kids where doing this back when I was in school. Kids are kids, they joke, they horseplay and they goof off we should let kids be kids and save the felonies for killers, rapist, thieves etc.
