State police say 33-year-old Ronald Washington, of Uniontown, called Menallen Elementary School to ask if his son had arrived for kindergarten Thursday morning. Police say Washington told school officials he needed to get something from the Sesame Street-themed backpack, prompting school officials to search it.
School officials called police when they found the pot, and troopers were waiting to arrest Washington when he arrived shortly before 9 a.m.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Washington who was jailed unable to post $100,000 bond.
