DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Police in Ohio said a man who led officers on a brief car chase allegedly tried to hide marijuana by giving it to a 12-year-old passenger to hold.
The police report of the incident said Lakeith Collins, 29, was seen by officers driving his girlfriend's Oldsmobile 46 mph in a 25 mph zone at about 10 p.m. Saturday in Dayton, the Dayton Daily News reported Monday.
The report said Collins refused to stop when officers attempted to pull him over and led police on a brief chase ending at Mount Crest Apartment complex, where police said he tried to flee on foot.
Collins was apprehended and a 12-year-old passenger in the Oldsmobile gave police a bag of marijuana that he claimed had been given to him by Collins to hold. Police discovered several more bags of marijuana were found in the car.
Collins told officers the boy "wanted to hold it" because the boy "liked to smoke weed," the report said. However, the boy was released without charge and Collins was arrested on suspicion of failure to comply with officers' order and misdemeanor charges of endangering a child, contributing to the unruliness of a minor and obstructing official business.
