Officials are investigating how a 3-year old student at an Elizabeth preschool (early childhood program) was found in possession of illegal substance Thursday.
According to authorities, the illegal substance was discovered by a teacher inside the boy's pocket at the Leaguers school - where 3 and 4-year-olds attend - located on East Broad Street Thursday morning.
According to parents, they were not informed of the ordeal until the afternoon as they picked up their children from school and were given a letter informing them of what had occurred.
It is unclear how the boy obtained the drugs.
Incident remains under investigation.
