5-Year-Old Brings Crack Cocaine to Catholic Preschool

Police are investigating after a 5-year-old boy brings nearly two dozen vials of crack cocaine to a Catholic preschool in Philadelphia. FOX 29 reports:

The Archdiocese says the teacher’s aide alerted a school administrator who called 911 right away.

Officers say they were told the child was acting out of character and had a bulge in his pants pocket. Thinking the child had a toy in his pocket, he was asked to take it out. Officials then discovered the clear plastic baggie containing 22 purple ziplock bags of crack cocaine.

It remains unclear where the drugs came from.

This is an ongoing investigation. No further information has been released at this time.
