News Summary

Two 10-year-old Florida girls were arrested and suspended from school for bringing a bag of parsley to school and telling classmates it was marijuana, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported Nov. 29.

The students at Old Kings Elementary School in Palm Coast were called in by school officials who learned that they were showing the bag to other students. The girls said they were pulling a prank, but were arrested, taken to the Flagler County Inmate Facility, and charged under a state law that makes it illegal to claim any substance is an illicit drug.

The girls were later released to their parents but were suspended from school and will have to attend drug-awareness classes.
