An attorney with the D.C. Office of the Attorney General claims that the student who brought cocaine to Thomson Elementary School and shared it with several other students last Thursday was in possession of “large amount of crack cocaine,” Mark Segraves reports. The boy, who is ten years old, told police that he had found the crack in his stepfather’s car — the total amount was small enough to fit in the boy’s sock, but “it was enough to share with six other students.”

Both the student — for whom charges of possession of a controlled substance have been dropped — and his sister have been placed in foster care since the incident, but could be released to family members, pending the result of a family court hearing tomorrow. The fourth-grader could face a year-long suspension from D.C. Public Schools; all of the other students who ingested the crack are okay.
