A student in Charles County, Maryland, has been arrested after being caught with a handgun, ammunition and drugs inside Westlake High School.
The Charles County Sheriff’s Office said the 17-year-old has been charged as an adult.
It happened Thursday around 7:30 a.m. when school officials noticed a “strong odor of cannabis” on the student, a sheriff’s office news release said.
The sheriff’s office said the student became uncooperative and tried to leave the school when a school resource officer got involved and detained the student.
A search of the student’s bookbag found a loaded 9 mm handgun, cannabis, THC gummies, jars of THC resins, unused packaging materials and a weighing scale, the sheriff’s office said.
The gun is a privately made gun or “ghost gun” and has no serial number, the sheriff’s office added.
The student faces charges of carrying a loaded weapon, possession with intent to distribute drugs and possession of a handgun without a serial number, among others.
The student is being held at the Charles County Detention Center.
Nobody was injured in the incident.
