Police: Teen Horseplay Ends Up in Drug Charges

Horsing around in a parking lot, teens get a little too much attention from a Muskego cop.

A report from Muskego Police has a lesson for anyone with drugs: best to not draw attention to yourself.

According the report, a routine patrol turned into a bust for drug possession at the McDonald's on Nov. 24. when an officer saw a man jump in front of a car leaving the restaurant parking lot, and then lay on top of it, making him pull in and question the teen.

While the officer was talking with the 16-year-old Muskego boy, he noticed the boy was becoming increasingly agitated and kept putting his hands in his pockets, prompting the officer to handcuff the boy. When he did so, he detected an odor of marijuana, and searched the boy's pockets, finding cigarette, a five-inch glass pipe and two baggies containing marijuana and synthetic marijuana, according to the report.
