Mom Nabbed for Dope in Son's Room

(Lawrence, Massachusetts) A 26-year-old local mother, Yarelis Cruz, has been accused of cultivating pot in her apartment after pictures of marijuana plants were found on her son's cell phone.

After seeing the pictures, a teacher at the 11-year-old son's school alerted authorities who subsequently conducted a search of the Cruz household and found "seeds under a large light in the boy's bedroom."

Cruz faces charges of possession and possession with intent to distribute.

No information has been disclosed regarding the medical marijuana needs of Cruz or her 11-year-old son. I guess it's possible that the boy needs to light up a blunt to relieve the chronic eye pressure caused by glaucoma. Then again, Cruz and/or her son may be undergoing chemotherapy and need marijuana to stave off nausea. Of course, there's always the possibility that Yarelis Cruz is simply a stupid doper.
