CHANDLER(ARIZONA):
Police have arrested a mother and father and accused them of giving marijuana to
their young sons as a reward for good behavior.
Toni Lynn Carlson, 31, and
Aaron Virgil Carlson, 23, were booked on suspicion of possessing marijuana and
drug paraphernalia, possessing marijuana for sale, contributing to the
delinquency of minors and endangerment, police said on Friday.
The couple were taken into
custody on Thursday night after detectives served a search warrant at their home
and found a quarter-pound of marijuana.
Police said the boys, aged 12
and 11, and a 4-year-old girl were in the care and custody of a family member.
The investigation began after
authorities received tips from a neighbor about the possible usage and sale of
drugs at the home, police said.
Detectives said they didn't
know about the family possibly smoking marijuana together until the parents and
children were interviewed.
