Report: Tests Differ on Marijuana Levels in Slain Meriden Teen’s System

The case involves Deandre Felton, the Meriden teenager who was stabbed after police said he attacked someone last year.

The Record-Journal newspaper reported Thursday that an initial toxicology report following the fatal stabbing of Deandre Felton indicated he had not taken drugs before his death.

But police told the newspaper that a second report showed the presence of marijuana in Felton’s system.

This is the latest bit of information in the story of the 15-year-old teen's death. Felton died from injuries sustained in a stabbing after police said he and a 13-year-old teen jumped a man who was walking home from the Westfarms Mall.

Whitnesses told police at the time that the two teens were high on marijuana when they decided to jump someone.

Police and the State's Attorney's Office said they are not planning on charging the man who stabbed Felton.
