BRIDGEPORT — A second-grader brought more than a dozen bags of marijuana on a school field trip to a local museum for a little show-and-tell of his own, police said.
The 8-year-old boy, a pupil at Dunbar School, was seen stuffing the small bags into his pockets while on the bus ride Friday to the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University in New Haven, police said.
The bus returned to school where the boy's parents were called. Police said the boy was off the hook after his teen-age uncle admitted the drugs were his.
"We immediately contacted the state Department of Children and Families because we were more concerned about the youngster," said schools spokesman Michael Giannotti. "After an investigation we decided not to suspend the youngster because we don't feel there was any malice on his part."
The uncle was treated differently.
Albert Davidson, 18, of Stamford, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school and risk of injury to a minor.
He was released after posting $1,000 bond.
Davidson told police he had been smoking marijuana Thursday night in his sister's home and became very sleepy. He decided to hide the rest of his stash, 18 small bags containing a total of 13.5 grams of marijuana, in a closet while he went to sleep.
Police said the next morning the younger boy found the drugs, which were in one large plastic bag, while getting ready for school. He brought the marijuana with him to school and then took it on the bus for the field trip. Police believe the boy took the bag out to show his friends.
At some point, police said, the boy apparently became worried that his find would be discovered and desperately began trying to stuff the plastic bag into his pocket.
Police said a teacher on the bus noticed the boy struggling and attempted to help him with his package only to discover it contained the marijuana.

FYI, had Davidson not wrapped up the bud into little baggies, Intent to Sell would of been harder to prove. They would of just slapped him with possession.
It gives you tips like, if you are pulled over, take the breath test. If they don't offer you a breath test, then take a blood test. If you smoke a lot of weed, the police will find it very difficult to prove that you were high right then and there as opposed to 24 hours earlier or a week earlier.
Snakebite at school may cost teen's arm
Boy caught copperhead, brought it to school in shoebox
POTTSTOWN, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A 14-year-old girl may lose her arm after being bitten by a poisonous copperhead snake at school, authorities said.
The snake was caught in Valley Forge by a 17-year-old male student, who took it in a shoebox to a drama club gathering at St. Pius X High School on Friday, Lower Pottsgrove Police Chief Ray Bechtel said.
No regular classes were held that day, which was designated for staff development.
The boy was showing the reptile to other students when it bit the girl's finger, Bechtel said.
The girl, whose name was not released by police, apparently threw the snake across the room and the boy threw it outside. The snake was not found, but authorities were able to identify it because the boy photographed it with his camera cellphone, said Bechtel.
The victim was treated at Pottstown Memorial Medical Center about 45 minutes after being bitten, he said.
"The doctors said if it had been a half-hour longer she would likely have been dead," said Bechtel.
However, police said she could still lose her arm.
Police did not have an update on the girl's condition Sunday. She had been in very serious condition at Hershey Medical Center.
No charges were filed but police said they were investigating.
Copperhead snake bites are typically not fatal but are extremely painful and may cause extensive scarring and loss of limb use, according to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension of North Carolina State University.
