Drug discovery prompts Southern lockdown

Posted: Updated:

by Nick Delgado

Southern High School was placed on lockdown this morning as a random search was conducted.  Acting Principal James Petitte made good on a promise he made to students by having police, corrections and Customs officers come to the school to conduct a sweep for drugs. 

Petitte says five teams of dogs swept the Santa Rita campus and found one student in possession of marijuana.  The student evidently had hidden eight sticks of marijuana in a potato chip bag stuffed into a pill bottle.  Authorities also confiscated several marijuana pipes made out of pens. 

Police are currently questioning the male minor who was found in possession of the contraband.  Petitte says the lockdown has since been lifted.
