Officers of the Perry Police Department stopped and questioned half-a-dozen juvenile males Friday about 7 p.m. after the youths were observed stashing a black backpack in a beanfield near 16th and North streets in Perry.
Following a brief investigation, a 13-year-old boy from Perry was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The other boys were sent on their way.
