Deputies with the McDowell Sheriff’s Office used a K-9 to
conduct a drug sniff of random vehicles in the school’s parking lot.
The K-9 alerted to a vehicle that was being driven by the
17-year-old student who was charged.
Officers reportedly found more than 11 grams of marijuana
inside the vehicle’s trunk.
No injuries were reported from an early Wednesday morning
townhouse fire in Hickory.
