The 16-year-old student was removed from class and taken to the public safety department, where he was charged with possession of marijuana. His case will be heard in Family Court.
A report said School Resource Officer Terry Davis was asked to come to a classroom after the dog from Raid Corps “hit” on the teen-ager.
The Raid Corps officer asked the boy if there was anything inside his coat or on his person. The boy said no, and gave permission to be searched.
As the Raid Corps man was searching the teen-ager’s shoe, Davis detected a bulge in the right sock. Davis inquired what it was. The student replied that it was his foot and held it up. Davis opened the sock and a small blue bag that contained a green leafy substance was visible. Davis seized it.
Union County Schools safety officer Randy Crocker said Raid Corps also used its dog at Union County High School Tuesday but no drugs were detected.
Crocker said the company chooses which schools it wants to visit but checks with him to make sure there is no testing or special circumstances that day that the drug checks might disrupt.
Fight with shots fired
Around 6:25 p.m. Tuesday, public safety officers were called to a fight in progress at Union Mill Crossing on 120 North Boyce St. Enroute, they were told shots had been fired. As officers arrived on the scene, about 100 people started running away. PFC Eddie Williams walked through a hole in the fence beside the apartments and found four spent .45 caliber shell casings, a cell phone, a black doo rag, a black stocking cap, a red and black ball cap and a drawstring bag.
About that same time, Cpl. Tommy Hart was called to a fight involving a crowd a Lipsey Street. Hart had to ask for backup.
An 18-year-old man later sought medical treatment at Wallace Thomson Hospital after being injured in the fight at Union Mill Crossing. He told officers he did not want to prosecute the person who had assaulted him.
