This Kid Is So Grounded
Ticked Teen Calls Cops On Mom
BREMERTON, Wash.—A 14-year-old boy upset that his mother threatened to send him to military school for skipping class later turned her in for growing marijuana.
A Kitsap County deputy went to the boy’s house after he called 911 emergency dispatchers and said his mother was growing pot, according to police.
At the house, the teen told the deputy he was angry that his mom was trying to discipline him for skipping class and talking back, “and he decided to tell on his mother.”
At first, the 34-year-old woman said she only smoked marijuana. She declined to let the deputy search her house without a warrant, but then changed her mind. “What the heck, you don’t need a warrant. I’ll show you,” the deputy quoted the mother as saying.
In her closet, the deputy found 10 small marijuana plants. The mother said she was growing them for personal use.
The woman was cooperative, the deputy wrote, and was not arrested.
