Sheriff's Office: School Trespassers Arrested
Teens face drug charges after alleged morning visit to North Stafford High School
Two teenagers were arrested this morning after North Stafford High School students reported the "suspicious" males to school administrators, according to the Stafford Sheriff's Office.
After the report, at 7:47 a.m., the school was placed on lockdown and deputies responded to the scene, sheriff spokesman Bill Kennedy said in a release. Deputies checked the school and property but did not find the suspects, who were soon spotted nearby walking on Garrisonville Road.
When deputies found the two teens, one ran before being caught, according to Kennedy. One suspect is a 17-year-old from Fairfax and the other is 18 and recently moved to Stafford.
