County schools lock-down during drug search
Coffee County schools were ordered to lockdown Wednesday during a drug search by Coffee County Sheriff’s Department officers and Alcohol Beverage Control Board agents.
Coffee County Sheriff Dave Sutton, Zion Chapel, New Brockton High School, New Brockton Elementary School and Kinston schools, were locked down during the search of the schools’ interior, vehicles in parking areas, student lockers and other areas of the schools.
“We found nothing major, but we did find some alcohol and tobacco products that students had,” Sutton said. “ABC agents did not make any arrests, but wrote citations to some of the students.”
Sutton said drug dogs also were used during the surprise search.
“We did not notify Superintendent Linda Ingram, the principals or teachers of the search,” he said. “This is because we don’t want the word to get out about the search coming.”
