OZARK—A Carroll High School student was charged with felony marijuana possession on Thursday after authorities said he brought drugs to the school.

Ozark City Schools Superintendent Mike Lenhart confirmed a student was apprehended by authorities after bringing to school a considerable amount of marijuana, which Lenhart described as a golf-ball size amount of the drug.

Authorities said the student, who is 16, had about $40 worth of the drug in his possession. The student was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and his case was turned over to the Department of Youth Services.

Lenhart said the student could face expulsion pending a full investigation.

“This was an isolated incident considering the amount that was brought to the school. There are occasions where students have brought drugs to school, but it is unusual for us to have a situation such as this,” he said.

No other information on the case was available Thursday because the student is a juvenile.
