Woman Asks Kids to Buy Drugs, Tells Police She Was Joking

Sherri Lee Leach was found to be in possession of Clonazepam and Amphetamine/Dextroamphetimine pills after trying to sell them to minors at a Weymouth, Mass. skate park

A woman was arrested after she attempted to sell drugs to minors at a skate park in Weymouth, Massachusetts, police say.

On Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., a 13 year old told his parents he was approached by a woman and asked if he wanted to buy pills.

When police arrived, a 15 year old approached them and reported the same information. The juvenile said that after he and his friends told her "no," she came back and asked them again.

One of the juveniles pointed out the woman to the officers. She was identified as Sherri Lee Leach, 49, of Hingham.

Leach was found to be in possession of Clonazepam and Amphetamine/Dextroamphetimine pills. She told officers she was just joking with the kids about selling them the pills.

Leach was arrested and charged with possession to distribute a class C drug to a minor, possession of class C drug, and drug violation near a school or park. She was held on $5,000 bail and will be arraigned Wednesday in Quincy District Court.
