Police: Bradenville pair showed kids how to smoke marijuana, gave them alcohol at parties
Two Bradenville residents are accused by state troopers of providing alcohol to several children during two birthday parties last year and demonstrating how to smoke marijuana, according to police reports.
Janelle Anne Bias, 35, and Bryan Allen Green, 44, were charged Thursday with multiple counts each of corruption of minors, providing alcohol to minors and disorderly conduct.
State police said the pair had a child’s birthday party on Sept. 28 in Derry Township. Six boys and girls between 12 and 15 told investigators that Bias and Green gave them alcohol and showed them how to smoke a marijuana pipe, police said.
Eight boys and girls between 12 and 16 and two 18-year-old men reported the same thing happened Dec. 27 at another child’s birthday party in Derry Township, police said.
The children said they drank to the point “where they blacked out and/or vomited,” troopers said.
No court action has been scheduled in the cases. Neither Bias nor Green had attorneys listed in online court records. They could not be reached.
