Police say pot dealer used McNugget box

Litchfield (AP/WTNH) - Connecticut police have arrested a Torrington teen, accusing him of selling marijuana and packing it in a Chicken McNugget box.

Torrington police say 17-year-old Frank Gentile and three alleged customers were nabbed after a police officer spotted some suspicious activity over the weekend.

Police say Gentile grew marijuana in his apartment and packaged the dope in McNugget boxes.

The arrests came after one alleged customer was spotted coming out of Gentile's apartment building with the McNugget box. An officer says he found marijuana inside the box.

Police say they searched Gentile' apartment and found more marijuana, a big bag of stems and drug paraphernalia.

Police also arrested Glen Brander, 19, on marijuana possession charges and possession in a school zone, and Garrett Neumann, 19, on charges including possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

All three were in court Monday and pleaded not guilty to charges.
