Three Students Charged After Investigation Finds Marijuana Sales at CHS

Officers have charged three Cheshire High School students with various possession of marijuana or sale of marijuana charges after a staff member at the school discovered that one of the students was dealing the substance on school grounds, police said.

The Cheshire Police Department responded to the school last week after a school resource officer was alerted about an alleged drug deal that had taken place at the school.

A police report said officers investigated, learning that there was three students involved and were able to identify the students as having sold or purchased marijuana on school grounds. The names and ages of the juveniles were not released due to state statutes, police said.

“Staff discovered that the students were involved and was prompt in reporting the incident,” a police report said. “Officers investigated and arrests were made on scene.”

One of the juveniles was charged with risk of injury to a minor and sale of less than one kilogram of marijuana and a second was charged with sale of marijuana and conspiracy to sell marijuana. The third individual was charged with possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

All three were released following the incident and are due in Meriden Superior Court in April. Further details of the case were not immediately available.
