15-year-old boy arrested for counterfeit controlled substance

[Dystopian]

My son just told me he heard the DJs laughing about this on the radio...'conterfeit controlled substance'...
:wtf:
This is all I could find...sad, but true. I've never heard of such a thing...



PORT ST. LUCIE — A planned trick on a friend involving a bag of parsley turned into an arrest for a 15-year-old local boy, according to a police report released Monday.

The 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy told police Friday morning they were headed to another friend's home. At the time, they were walking across Crosstown Parkway during school hours.

The elder boy said he was going to play a trick on his friend. He said he had a bag of parsley that he was going to make his friend think was marijuana. The parsley, which he got from his kitchen cabinet, was in a clear plastic bag and appeared similar to pot.

The last time the boy smoked marijuana allegedly was the day before.

The 15-year-old boy was arrested on a charge of possession of a counterfeit controlled substance with the intent to deliver.

10. 3 in the afternoon a couple boys where on the sidewalk at my driveway shooting off firecrackers.

i was watching them out of my window. totally behaving, just lighting fireworks. 3 in the afternoon

a cop pulls up to them and chats

i walked out and asked what the cop wanted adn someone in neighborhood had called cops on the. he told them to stop

why?

they were hurting no one.

the best that could have happened was burn a finger, but life is a bitch, shit happens and kid do stuff growing up

i was so pissed.

11. I do not envy today's children.

America has become a different place since Bush took office, and this is part of the change. Our personal freedoms have been robbed, little by little. People have to be obedient and be afraid of authority. It's getting a little too close to fascism for my liking.

I sure hope things change with Obama as President.

12. i have a 14 and 11 yr old. never gotten even kinda in trouble. good, easy kids.... i tell them

16. you can't "stand out from the crowd" safely anymore, or people get nervous .

I've always been an independent type person who sometimes does unexpected things. People always gave me funny looks, but these days, if you do something unexpected, people get nervous. So I try to act as obedient as possible, I have noticed. People have been conditioned to be afraid of anything outside "the norm".

Our freedoms really have been taken away...just a little at a time.

17. i giggled.... and i agree. n/t

21. I Did The Same Thing

I told my teenager never, ever talk to the police if ever stopped. To just be quiet and wait for us to come and bail him out of whatever they were trying to do to him. Sad, but "Hey". I also live in Florida.

9. I agree..cops gone wild...again.

I'm still freaking out over the riot-geared pigs in and around the convention...and that's just the videos.

15. Man, if I was a 10 or 12 year old kid today, I wouldn't be able to do half the stuff my friends and

I did back in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Those were the days.

No game consoles (except for the Atari 2600) and you actually had to leave your home and be creative in your play.

18. Sixty years ago I put some sodium from the high school chemistry

lab into a piece of filter paper. Later, down in the boys room, as a joke, I showed it to a kid and told him it was "dope". Fifteen minutes later I was in the principle's office. He asked me what it was. I told him. He took the substance to the chemistry teacher who quickly identified it as sodium. That was it. Case closed. I never heard another thing about it.

19. That's an old one and it's based on intent

bogus? yes, but the charge has a tendency to stick.
