An Upstate high school student was arrested and charged Friday after deputies say they found a gun and drugs in his bookbag.Lt. Kevin Bobo, with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, said the arrest was made after a monthly sweep of the student parking lot at Boiling Springs High School on Old Furnace Road.Bobo said drug dogs alerted on a parked car at about 2:15 p.m.School officials discovered the student was off-campus and would not return until 3:15 p.m.When the student arrived, school officials informed him a dog had alerted on his car, and they would need to search it. When asked if he had anything in the car he shouldn’t have, he told them he had a gun, Bobo said. School officials conducted a search and found a 9mm pistol in the car as well as 30 THC cartridges for vapes, a knife, a gram of green plantlike material and 2 Vyvanse pills, which are a Schedule II illegal drug, Bobo said. All of those items were inside of a book bag in the student’s car, and none of them were inside of the school building at any time, Bobo said. The student is a juvenile, so his name was not released.He is charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, minor in possession of a firearm and possession of a weapon on school grounds. Because of the seriousness of his offenses, the juvenile was detained and is being transported to the detention facility for the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia, Bobo saidSpartanburg School District 2 officials issued this statement:"As part of our comprehensive plan to keep our students and staff safe, we conduct random drug sweeps of our campuses. We contract with a local company that specializes in using K9s to detect illegal substances. Today, this strategy proved effective. During a sweep of the Boiling Springs High School Campus, a K9 alerted on a student’s vehicle. A search of the vehicle then turned up drugs and a handgun. We are so thankful for the professionalism and dedication of our BSHS Administration and the School Resource Officers assigned to the campus. In collaboration, they quickly identified the student and took him into custody. This student is now suspended pending expulsion, and the investigation is now in the hands of our partners with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office. Our mission in Spartanburg School District 2 is to provide a safe learning and teaching environment for all. This means we will not tolerate drugs and weapons on our campuses. We will use this incident as motivation to stay dedicated to finding more ways to proactively seek out these things and remove them from our schools. It should also serve as a reminder to all who would bring drugs and weapons to school that these actions will not be condoned. As always, we thank you for your support and trust."
