Northville Middle School Student Accused of Selling Marijuana to Another Student

A student is accused of bringing 1.5 grams of marijuana to school Thursday and selling it to another student, according to a school email alert from principal James Cracraft.

The incident sparked a locker search which turned up another prohibited item.

"During a locker search, it was discovered that a student has brought a knife with a 2.5 inch blade into the school and gave it to another student. Administration recovered the marijuana, knife, and money and Northville Police intervened in this case. Both students involved are suspended and will be disciplined in accordance to the Student Coda of Conduct. The student who brought the knife to school was also suspended," Cracraft said in the alert emailed to the school community.

In his alert, Cracraft said the school is working with police on an investigation of the apparent drug deal.

"Please take this opportunity to discuss with your child the potential dangers of substance abuse and illegal drugs. I also encourage you to remind your student that not only does the Code of Conduct apply in our school, violations of the law are reported to the authorities," he wrote.

He added, "As principal, I take any threat to our student’s safety and learning very seriously and will not tolerate behavior of this type in our school."
