When police opened the toy, they found two packages containing 314 grams of cocaine.

He was taken to the Marathon jail and was held on $7,000 bond.
Although stuffed toys may not seem like the most obvious place where someone would hide drugs, teddy bears are one of the drug hiding places the DEA has warned parents that teens use to hide their stash.
All parents strive to have an open and honest relationship with their teens. However, if your young loved one is dealing with drug addiction, they often become secretive, and as parents you may find answers in their rooms or vehicles. For those facing this serious issue, here are a few common places your teen could be hiding drugs.
