The assistant principal searched the lockers and located a bag containing several items, including a purple metal marijuana pipe, a marijuana grinder, a clear bag of green vegetation (marijuana), several nicotine products and two lighters. The principal spoke with the student, who admitted he brought the items to school so his mother would not find them at home. The student admitted to ownership of the items inside his locker and admitted to last smoking marijuana the day prior. The student’s mother was called to GHS. The student was issued a minor misdemeanor citation for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. All items were stored at GPD as evidence.
Shoplifting

The complainant, an Eikenberry’s employee, stated the male subject looked suspicious to her because he walked throughout the store with a cigarette in his mouth. The complainant said after she saw the suspect leave, she reviewed the store’s security cameras and observed the suspect enter the store through the west entrance a little before 4 p.m. The suspect took a two-liter of Mountain Dew, one package of Pop-Tarts toaster pastries, and at least one Hershey’s chocolate bar and concealed them in his jacket and pants pockets. The video shows the suspect walking by the front counter and leaving through the western exit about three minutes later without paying for the items, which totaled $11.33 plus tax. The suspect is a heavier-set white male approximately in his 30s, wearing a grey zip-up hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, with short brown hair and a brown mustache and goatee. The complainant provided a copy of the store’s security camera footage via a USB stick, and she completed a written statement.
