Provo police arrested a man they say was trying to get a mentally-disabled boy to buy his drugs for him.
Police say the suspect lives next door to a place that helps out mentally-disabled individuals. He gave a 15-year-old boy staying at the facility $50 and told him to go buy marijuana.
The boy tried but got picked up by police. The man who gave the boy the money for drugs ended up in jail.
The teen told police he went along with the plan because he wanted to be cool.
