On Thursday, March 23, 2023 at approximately 10:30 a.m., marijuana and a handgun were found in a student’s vehicle at Eastern Alamance High School.
School Administrators quickly confiscated the items and turned them over to the Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer. Sheriff’s Office Detectives are currently investigating the incident.
No lockdown was needed nor was there any disruption on campus.
“The Alamance County Sheriff’s Office ask that parents, grandparents, and/or guardians of students be aware of your child’s activities and explain to them that weapons and drugs on campus are dangerous and illegal.”
In addition, the Alamance Burlington School System has zero tolerance for illegal substances and weapons on school property.
This case remains under investigation.
