INDIAN HEAD, Md. – On October 9, a 13-year-old student at Glymont Middle School advised administrators they had eaten a gummy candy they believed contained cannabis. The student reported feeling sick and was transported to a hospital as a precaution.
A school resource officer initiated an investigation with school administrators and discovered that other students may have been involved. As a result of administrative searches, a cell phone–shaped stun gun was recovered from another 13-year-old student’s locker, suspected cannabis was recovered from a 14-year-old student’s locker, and a bag containing suspected THC gummies was recovered from a trash can after a 13-year-old student was seen disposing of it.
No other students reported feeling ill. Parents are encouraged to speak with their children about the dangers of ingesting unknown substances and the consequences of possessing or distributing illegal items on school property.
Civil citations and charges are pending. All incidents remain under investigation.
Oh, that’s Gen. Smallwood Middle School! I didn’t realize what school this happened at. Looks like the name change didn’t change anything else!
I hope the child is OK.
