Liberty High student charged with possession

Saturday, March 24, 2007

LIBERTY — A Liberty High School student has been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia exactly 30 days shy of his 18th birthday.

The student was on school grounds when approached by police. Officers noticed two young people sitting in a car in the parking lot of Liberty High School just before 2 p.m. Thursday.

A school official said both boys are students but were listed as absent.

The officer, reports say, saw cigar papers and loose tobacco in the car and asked the boys if any drugs were in the car.

The 17-year-old boy said no but produced a metal marijuana smoking pipe with “a heavy order of burnt marijuana to it” and rolling papers.
