POT-SMOKING FATHER GETS PROBATION

A father who smoked marijuana with his two young children was
sentenced to six years' probation by a Denver judge last week.

Jackie Ellison, 27, pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency
of a minor. As part of his probation Denver Judge Robert Hyatt ordered
Ellison not to have any contact with his 6-year-old son and 6-year-old
daughter.

If Ellison wants to have contact with his children, he must petition
the court for permission. The judge also ordered Ellison to take
parenting classes and undergo substance-abuse treatment.
