Teen arrested in connection with marijuana found at school
DAYTON - A teenager attending Thurgood Marshall High School faces expulsion and a felony drug trafficking charge in connection with nearly eight grams of marijuana found by school officials Monday, March 8.
Officers responded to 4447 Hoover Ave. about 11:20 a.m. after school officials said they found the juvenile carrying marijuana, according to a police report.
The boy admitted he sold the marijuana to make extra money, but claimed he never sold it on school property, the report stated.
The teen’s mother was called and said her son had a “good roof over his head” and she recently gave him $500 to spend on clothes and other things, the report stated.
The teen would not tell officers where he got the marijuana. He was released to his mother, but was issued a summons to appear in juvenile court, the report stated.
