Conn. police say pot dealer used McNugget box

[July 01, 2009]  LITCHFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut police have arrested a teen, accusing him of selling marijuana and packing it in a Chicken McNugget box.

Police said the teen and three alleged customers were nabbed after a police officer spotted some suspicious activity over the weekend. Police said the teen grew marijuana in his apartment and packaged the dope in McNugget boxes.

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

Police said they searched the apartment and found more marijuana, a big bag of stems and drug paraphernalia.

The teen pleaded not guilty to charges on Monday.
