On January 18 at 11:15 a.m., a student at Westlake High School reported they ingested an edible they thought contained cannabis. The student became sick and EMS responded. The student was transported to a hospital at the request of a parent who arrived on the scene. A school resource officer is investigating the situation after learning another student may have given the student the edible. Parents are asked to talk with their children about the dangers of ingesting foods or liquids that contain dangerous substances, as there is a risk the substance could contain life-threatening poisons such as fentanyl or other toxic materials. Anyone with additional details is asked to call PFC Joffe at 301-609-3282 ext. 0608. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may contact Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS.
