Show & tell:
Heroin edition
On Tuesday, April 10, a five-year-old boy in Connecticut brought packets of heroin to show and tell in his kindergarten class.
The child was showing his fellow students the packets full of powder and his teacher noticed what they were and immediately confiscated them.
Authorities were called and a field test determined that the substance was, in fact, heroin. The child’s father, Santos Roman, 35, showed up at the school and was arrested.
“[Roman] went to retrieve [his heroin], and it wasn’t there so he came back for his stepson,” Detective Keith Bryant of the Bridgeport Police Department said.
Roman was arraigned on Tuesday on three drug-possession charges, including intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school and risk of injury to a minor (reuters.com). Roman was held on $100,000 bail.
