The Marshall County Sheriff's Office said dispatch received a call Thursday about two juveniles trespassing on a dock. When a deputy arrived, the boys had already fled but left a backpack at the scene.
Police said a strong smell of marijuana was coming from the backpack. While the deputy was checking the bag, a cell phone inside the bag rang and he answered it.
On the other end of the line was the mother of one of the boys that owned the backpack. The 16-year-old boy was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released to his mother as was all recovered property from the scene.
