A messy caper involving teens and chocolate ended with a lesson in the law.
On Tuesday, police in Fairfield found something they had likely never encountered before when they were called to 1583 Post Road and found a crew of teens covered in a brown, gooey mess.
At first, police weren’t sure what they had stumbled upon, the Connecticut Post reports. Once they did a little investigating, police realized nothing illegal was going on, just something sloppy.
The 15- and 16-year-olds had purchased chocolate syrup at Rite Aid and gone from sipping it to squirting it at each other.
