MAN CHARGED WITH FORCING DAUGHTER TO SMOKE POT

WAUKESHA - A Village of Pewaukee man was charged Wednesday with
forcing his 14-year-old daughter to smoke marijuana.

According to a criminal complaint charging the 37-year-old man with
contributing to the delinquency of a child:

The incident occurred in October while the girl, whose parents are
divorced, was spending time with her father. According to the girl,
her father began quizzing her about marijuana and whether she was
interested in trying it.

The girl said she repeatedly told him she was not interested, but he
forced her to accompany him to a bedroom, where he filled a pipe with
marijuana, shoved it into her mouth and forced her to inhale after
lighting the bowl.

The girl said she eventually left the room and subsequently told her
mother about the incident, ignoring her father's order not to disclose
the matter. When he was questioned by police, he admitted discussing
marijuana with his daughter and showing her a small bag of it that he
had for his use, but he insisted she left the room without smoking
any. He described the episode as an educational process.
