– A traffic stop that began with a 17-year-old boy ended with his parents in legal
trouble.
According to police in
Anderson County, Hershel and Karen Brown are accused of selling marijuana to
their son.
The Brown's told police
that "times are hard." The boy's mother said, "I didn't give him marijuana. I
sold it to him for $120."
Police were not impressed
by the Brown's excuse and neither was the Brown's neighbor Katie Shively who
said, "It's disturbing, it's sad. Not just that they are allowing their son to
do it and providing it, but also using him for money, charging him for it."
Police took the boy's
father into custody and cited his mother. Police said the parent will be an
example for their boy when he sees what happens to people who break the law.
