Man guilty of teaching boys to use pot

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 25 (UPI) -- A Texas man caught on video laughingly teaching his young nephews to smoke marijuana has been sentenced to eight years in prison, court officials say.

Demetris McCoy, 18, pleaded guilty Thursday in Fort Worth, Texas, Thursday to two charges of injury to a child/causing bodily injury after reaching an agreement with prosecutors, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

The two boys in the 2007 incident were 2 and 4 years old.

As part of the deal, McCoy will testify against his co-defendant, Vanswan Polty, 19, who is awaiting trial, officials said.

McCoy and Polty were arrested after police found the video while searching the Watauga, Texas, home of McCoy's grandmother regarding a series of burglaries, the Star-Telegram said.
