Two students at Arnall Middle School were arrested on drug charges Monday.
A 12-year-old female bought two bags of marijuana from a 13-year-old male student for $10, according to Major Jimmy Yarbrough with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office.
“The male was charged with felony sale of marijuana on school campus, and the female was charged with possession of marijuana,” the major said. “Both were placed into custody and taken to the juvenile office.”
Because the students are juveniles, their names are not being released.
Arnall Middle School is located at 700 Lora Smith Road.
