2-year-old allegedly being taught drug trade in Farrell
FARRELL, Pennsylvania - Police in Farrell say a cell phone contained video of a toddler being taught how to prepare marijuana for sale.
Southwest Regional Police say the phone belongs to 25-year-old Christopher Cordero whose voice can be heard instructing a boy about two-years-old on how to break up marijuana buds.
The police report states that in the video the child is seen smelling the marijuana and his hands. The detective states at one point in the video the child stops and Cordero yells at him to continue. An adult female voice can also be heard in the background.
According to the detective there is also a picture from the cellular phone of Cordero holding a large sum of U.S. currency fanned out in his hands.
Police say in less than two months there were a total of 5,450 text messages hundreds of which are blatantly drug sales related.
Cordero faces trial for drug possession and criminal use of a cell phone.
Police seized Cordero's phone and about 10 ounces of pot during a search in February.
That search followed a report of multiple gun shots being fired in the area of the 300 block of Spearman Avenue in Farrell.
