WAYLAND, MI – Police are investigating possible drink tampering at a high school homecoming dance.
During a homecoming dance at Wayland Union High School on Saturday, Sept. 25, students started to feel sick, the Wayland Police Department said.
School officials and police secured the beverage containers, suspecting that a foreign substance might have been added, polices said.
The investigation is in its early stages and police cannot confirm what, if any, substance was used.
About 600 students attended the dance and police are asking anyone who suffered effects from that night to report it to police at the Wayland police post, 160 W. Superior St., or call 269-792-9366.
People should bring any medical information or records from a healthcare facility when they report.
A cash reward is offered for any investigative information or “information that leads to the identification and arrest of a suspect(s) who illegally caused students to ingest drugs or any substance that caused the illnesses.” The reward is offered through Allegan County Silent Observer.
Anyone with information can call the Wayland police at 269-792-9366 or anonymously report to Silent Observer at 1-855-745-3686.
