A donation of clothes to the Maplewood Once Upon A Child clothing store Friday evening was dope. Literally.

A customer dropped off a bag of clothes for consignment but never returned. When staff at the store discovered about 60 small bags of marijuana, worth about $1,100, they called police.

Maplewood police then shamed the unknown donor on Twitter and Facebook. Nobody is in custody.
