Kindergartener brings cocaine to school after police say adults hid drugs in child’s clothes

A 5-year-old boy unknowingly brought cocaine to a kindergarten in a New Orleans suburb, leading to the arrest of a man and a woman, police said Wednesday.

According to WWMT in West Michigan, a teacher saw the child holding a bag of a white powder Tuesday and called in the school resource officer.

The officer found one bag of powdered cocaine and two of crack cocaine, police said.

Reports said the boy knew nothing about the drugs. Investigators who searched the child’s home found marijuana and more cocaine and believed the adults tried to hide drugs in pockets of the boy’s stored clothing.

WWMT reports Angelica Stanley, 23, and Ellis Cousin, 51, were arrested on charges of cruelty to a juvenile, processing drugs with intent to distribute them, and possessing drug paraphernalia.
