6th grader charged with possesion.
An Oklahoma City Public Schools sixth grader took four grams of marijuana to school last week. The school district and Oklahoma City Police are now investigating the incident. School officials say if not for other students, they may have never learned of the drugs being taken onto school property.
Last Wednesday Oklahoma City School officials say a student told a friend about his plans to take marijuana to school.
"We had a sixth grade student here at Webster Middle School that told some friends the day before this incident happened that he found a bag of marijuana in his house," says Cordell Jordan, Oklahoma City Public Schools Spokesperson.
Oklahoma City Police are now investigating the incident. The police report states the student claimed to have found the marijuana on his mother's bedroom floor; it also states he planned to sell the drugs so he could buy suckers.
Oklahoma City schools work with the police department to teach kids how to recognize certain drugs, they also teach students the importance of telling someone if drugs or weapons are brought to school. Often times, as in this incident, students are the first line of defense.
"Most of the time when things are uncovered it's because of the students. We rely heavily on students and teachers in the classroom to really keep their eyes open and ears open and if they hear of anything to let them know they can do the right thing and report it," says Jordan.
The student was charged with possession of marijuana. He has been sent to an alternative school for a period of time.
