This week, two preteens were arrested at an Indianapolis elementary school. The 10-year-old and 11-year-old were arrested for dealing drugs to fellow students at their school. Local law enforcement authorities called the arrests unusual, despite the fact that the average age of drug dealers in the area has been getting younger and younger. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Sergeant Matthew Mount commented: "Those that are involved in selling drugs want to get kids involved in drug use as soon as they can. ... Hopefully you can get to kids at an early enough age that you can have a positive influence on them."
