Kelly and Claude McGrew Arrested on Supplying Pot to Their Teens (and More Colorado Shenanigans)
I’m always on the lookout for Colorado stories. But when the arresting officer is the dad of your son’s classmate? Well, let’s just say this is literally too close to home. Kelly Lynn McGrew, 36, was arrested by Dacono, Colo. police for supplying pot to her three teenage children and two of their friends. One of the children told a Frederick High School official that Kelly was sharing drugs with them.
Mom wasn’t the only one partying with the youngsters. The children’s father, Claude McGrew, 48, was smoking with them, too. Police have charged him on suspicion of misdemeanor drug use and child abuse. Kelly McGrew was arrested on five counts of misdemeanor child abuse and five felony counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She’s being held in the Weld County Jail. The kids ages 15, 16, and 17 were taken into protective custody by Weld County Social Services.
Colorado parents just love to get high with their kids and their friends. Last December, Suzanne Moore of Erie, Colo. got to two years in prison for giving marijuana to her teenage son and four other teenagers. Then there’s “Cool Mom” Silvia Johnson of Arvada, Colo. who got to 30 years in prison for contributing to the delinquency of minors, sexual assault, and violating a restraining order. Johnson, 41, held weekly parties and provided pot, meth and alcohol to eight boys. She had sex with five of them. It was such a big story that the Smoking Gun posted the affadavit, and newspapers as far away as Australia picked up on it.
I guess we’re called the Mile High state for a reason.
