LA PLATA, Md., WALDORF, Md. – On September 16, a school administrator at Thomas Stone High School observed a transaction involving vaping devices inside the school. An administrative search led to the recovery of three THC-labeled vape devices from a student who had received them. A different student, identified as the supplier, was also found in possession of three additional THC vape devices.
The school resource officer issued one student a juvenile civil citation, while charges against the other student will be filed later.
In another case, a student at La Plata High School was found to be in possession of two vaping devices containing THC. The student was issued a juvenile civil citation. All of the students will also face disciplinary consequences from Charles County Public Schools for violating the student code of conduct.
The Charles County Sheriff’s Office encourages parents to talk with their students about the dangers of vaping devices, especially those containing THC, which pose serious health risks and are illegal for minors to possess. THC vapes are often packaged to appear safe but can contain harmful or unknown substances.
