A fifteen-year-old female student was taken to the hospital from Mustang High School on Monday and a sixteen-year-old female student was arrested at the school for Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance and Possession with Intent to Distribute, according to police.
Captain Willard James said a teacher notified school administrators that a fifteen-year-old female student was exhibiting symptoms of intoxication or drug use in class. Administrators notified school officers and called the Rescue Squad, James said.
According to police, the girl said she had taken two and a half Xanax several hours before and officers found half a Xanax in her possession. Officers and administrators contacted a sixteen-year-old female and found one Xanax in her possession. The sixteen year old was arrested and transported to Mustang police department and later released to her parents. She will face felony charges in the juvenile justice system, James said.
MHS Assistant Superintendent Bonnie Lightfoot said MHS school policy states that any student in possession or under the influence will be suspended for the semester with an option of returning in 10 days if they agree to drug testing and counseling. Drug distribution results in suspension for the rest of the year with no 10-day option.
