If I were to find a 20 lb brick of weed, you would not find it in the news. You might find it in my bong or in my freezer but NOT in the news.
Silly little girl...
DALLASTOWN, Pa. - A teenage girl found a 20-pound brick of marijuana while cleaning up a beach recently.
Bree Thornton, 15, a student at Dallastown Area High School, was picking up bottles, plastic and other garbage while visiting family in Hillsboro Beach, Fla., last week because a teacher had asked her students to volunteer for an hour, write about it and present an oral report. She was picking up trash with two cousins when she found the package the size of a shoebox.
Thornton and her cousins went back to their grandparents' beach house, where they showed the package to her aunt and uncle. They didn't recognize the contents, but decided to take it to the police station, where tests determined it was marijuana.
"I couldn't believe it," Thornton said. "I didn't think this kind of thing would happen during a volunteer project."
Health teacher Pat McKinney was shocked Wednesday when her student arrived with a picture of herself and her two cousins with Hillsboro Beach Police Chief John Ballard and the marijuana. She said she was proud of her student.
"There were no adults around. She didn't have to turn the package into police, but she did," McKinney said. "We had a class where we learned about integrity, and she showed it."
