Police: Man dropped marijuana in son's lunch box

KILLINGWORTH, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut police say they have charged a man with drug possession after daycare workers reported finding marijuana in his 18-month-old son's lunch box.

NBC Connecticut reports that 33-year-old John Sulzbach of Killingworth is due to appear Dec. 22 in court on charges of possessing a controlled substance and risk of injury to a child.

Police say Sulzbach was arrested Thursday at his home after employees at his son's daycare center called police, saying they'd found what appeared to be a marijuana-filled cigarette in the toddler's food container.

Police say their investigation found Sulzbach had accidentally dropped it into the container the night before while preparing his son's lunch.

Sulzbach was released on a written promise to appear in court. Information wasn't available Sunday on whether he had an attorney.
