Dispute Over Cake Leads Mom To Alert Police About Teen's Pot

FLINT (WWJ/AP) - Police in Flint arrested a 16-year-old boy for marijuana possession after his mother showed an officer the drugs following a dispute over a piece of cake.

Police responded to a home around 12:50 p.m. Saturday on a report of a domestic dispute. Officers arrived on the scene and spoke to a woman who said she was having an argument with her teenage son over a piece of cake he had eaten, the Flint Journal reported.

According to a police report, the woman told the officer the boy had marijuana in his bedroom that he would smoke in the home and in front of her other children. The woman then apparently went into the boy's room, got the marijuana and turned the drugs over to police. The boy was immediately taken into custody.

Names of those involved have not yet been released.
