Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Police in Wilkinsburg have confiscated what they suspect were 50 to 60 small bags of drugs from a third-grade student who was passing them out at his school.
Police suspect the substance the 8-year-old boy was handing out Tuesday at Turner Elementary School was heroin.
Officials say the bags had the words "trust me" stamped on them and would have a street value of about $1,000 if tests conclude they contained heroin.
Wilkinsburg School District officials sent home a letter to parents advising them to discuss the matter with their children.
Police say the investigation is continuing.
