A Portland-area father who gave marijuana to his 6- and 8-year-old boys was sentenced Friday to 14 days in jail.

David Edward Edmunds, 30, offered no explanation for supplying his kids the drugs.

According to Deputy District Attorney Chuck Mickley, Edmunds’ older son told child-abuse investigators that he felt dizzy and lightheaded when his dad made him smoke pot.

The boy described one instance in which his dad had him smoke through a bong, Mickley said. The boy said his dad wanted him to inhale and hold his breath, but when he couldn’t, “he exhaled into the bong, (causing) bong water to go all over the place. And that made the defendant angry,” Mickley said.

Mickley said the older son also reported that his father gave him a blue-and-white pill that made him feel “different,” and his father said it was supposed to keep him awake.

The boys have been removed from Edmunds’ custody. They are living with their grandparents, said defense attorney Peyton Lee. Mickley said the Oregon Department of Human Services has an ongoing case regarding Edmunds’ parental status.

Edmunds told Multnomah County Circuit Judge Kathleen Dailey that the children’s mother is not a part of their lives.

Edmunds was arrested in February under accusations of giving his children the drugs or possessing drugs around them from January to July 2016.

Edmunds told authorities he used marijuana daily.

He was convicted of dealing marijuana in 2007 and 2013. He also was convicted of criminal mistreatment in 2005, but electronic court records didn’t identify his victim.

Edmunds on Friday pleaded no contest to delivery of marijuana to a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor, and guilty to failing to appear in court earlier this year.

Lee, his attorney, said her client is doing well now that he’s getting treatment. Lee said Edmunds has been sober for about five months, is going to college to study computer programming and has a landscaping business.

Dailey encouraged Edmunds to stick with the 12-step recovery program he’s in now.

“You’ve made choices that are highly detrimental to your children, which is why they’re not with you,” the judge said.

“It looks like drugs have been in your life for some time," the judge continued. "But five months is a good start.”
