Boy charged with felony for carrying sugar — This is one of the most amazing stories I’ve ever read. The city officials in Aurora should be ashamed of themselves and I hope the city gets sued into oblivion.

And does this drug-lookalike law mean that every housewife in Aurora can be busted for the sugar jar? What about the grocery stores? Talk about shades of the Soviet Union. Everything is illegal.

A 12-year-old Aurora boy who said he brought powdered sugar to school for a science project this week has been charged with a felony for possessing a look-alike drug, Aurora police have confirmed.

The sixth-grade student at Waldo Middle School was also suspended for two weeks from school after showing the bag of powdered sugar to his friends.

The boy, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, said he brought the bag to school to ask his science teacher if he could run an experiment using sugar.

Two other boys asked if the bag contained cocaine after he showed it to them in the bathroom Wednesday morning, the boy’s mother said.

He joked that it was cocaine, before telling them, “just kidding,” she said.

On the Aurora Police homepage the Chief welcomes phone calls and emails. I wonder how long that will last?
