On Feb. 25 at 1:18 p.m., a Charles County Sheriff’s Office school resource officer assigned to Henry Lackey High School located at 3000 Chicamuxen Road in Indian Head, was conducting a premise check when he noticed a blue Cadillac enter the student parking lot.

When the occupants did not exit their car, the officer approached to establish if they had legitimate reasons for being on school property. At that time, the driver fled the parking lot and the officer followed. A traffic stop was initiated a short distance away. Upon approaching the car, the officer detected a strong odor of marijuana.

The passenger, a 17-year-old male, was found to be in possession of marijuana. He was charged with possession of marijuana and released to a guardian. The driver, 17, was charged with tobacco violations. Both subjects are students at Lackey.
