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.”

UPDATE (5:05 p.m.): New details now on the incident — the student who brought the cocaine to school and shared it has been charged with possession of a controlled substance. In total, four students ingested the cocaine, some orally, others inhaling it through the nose. All of the children involved are apparently okay; leadership at Thomson Elementary met with the parents of the children involved, and a letter was sent home with all students to explain what happened. Friday is a professional development day for teachers at the school, but counselors will be available on Monday to help the young students to understand what happened.
