The security guard called the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office after he saw one of the boys quickly stuff a baggy into his pocket.

The green leafy substance inside the bag turned out to be oregano and one of the boys said he got it from a "guy he knew," and they had unsuccessfully tried to smoke it, the report stated.

The boys were later released to a parent.
