Student vaping in Stafford County Public Schools is a problem. We’ve reported parents’ concerns, and WRC-TV reported on new vape detectors to be installed at county schools.
This week, the Stafford sheriff’s office says it’s caught some students in the act and has filed charges:
H.H. Poole Middle School, 800 Eustace Road, 4/4, 12:09 p.m. Deputy T.K. Phillips was preforming her SRO duties when she was informed of possible drug activity. A witness advised they observed a student, vaping in the bathroom. A search of the student’s belongings conducted by school staff revealed two vapes and THC based products. The student used the classic lie saying it wasn’t his bag; however, that was quickly discovered to be false. A criminal complaint was filed.Stafford High School, 63 Stafford Indians lane, 4/4, 12:30 p.m. Deputy R.B. Brooks was preforming his SRO duties when he was informed of possible drug activity. A witness advised they observed a student vaping in class. A search of the student’s belongings conducted by school staff revealed a nicotine vape. Much like the student in the previous report, he originally denied it belonging to him. A criminal complaint was filed.
In other schools and sheriff’s department-related news, we reported that Colonial Forge students lost the privilege of a one-hour lunch after multiple fights broke out in the school on Wednesday, April 5, 2023.
