SON SNITCHES ON DAD'S POT STASH

PASCO, Wash. (AP) -- A teen-ager upset about moving from rural New York to
Washington got even with his parents by inviting police to check out a stash
of marijuana in their bedroom.

Anthony Russo, a dentist, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of
marijuana Tuesday and was given a 90-day suspended sentence. Charges against
his wife, Sheryl, were dropped.

Police were tipped off by their 16-year-old son, who had moved with the
family last year from a small farming community near Buffalo, N.Y., to
Connell, a town of about 2,000 people in Washington.

The Russos had no comment.
