Police: Smoke-Filled Car Leads To Seven Glastonbury Teens Facing Drug Charges
Seven Glastonbury High School students were busted on Friday for allegedly smoking pot and drinking alcohol.
Late last week, a smoke-filled car led to seven Glastonbury High students facing discipline for drug and alcohol charges.
The Hartford Courant reports that police found seven boys aged 13 to 17 parked in a car at the western end of Country Club Road in Glastonbury at around 6 p.m. on Friday. When police opened the door to the car, marijuana smoke poured out, and 14 grams of marijuana, three bottles of rum and 22 cans of beer were found inside, according to the newspaper.
Six of the seven boys will face charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of alcohol by a minor, while the youngest one - a 13-year-old - was not arrested and will get a juvenile referral, according to The Courant. Each of the boys was released to a parent, according to the newspaper.
