TAMPA - The first-grader told a teacher he needed to talk.
Once inside the assistant principal's office, the 7-year-old boy said he had something "very dangerous."
From his jacket pocket, he pulled out two clear plastic sandwich bags filled with large, white lumps - $8,900 worth of crack cocaine.
Police say the Forest Hills Elementary School student carried the drugs to school Tuesday in the pocket of a blue, child-sized jacket.
He didn't show the drugs to any classmates, and school officials praised him for revealing his illegal cargo.
He won't receive any sort of discipline, said schools spokesman Stephen Hegarty.
"We told him several times that he did the right thing," Hegarty said.
