Four Arrests at NHS: Fight, Weapons, Marijuana

Naugatuck Police responded to the high school three times last week and arrested four students.

The first incident, a fight between two female students, took place at 3:52 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26. A teacher broke up the fight, police said.

The two girls were charged with third-degree assault and breach of peace, and released to the custody of their parents. They are both due in juvenile court on March 5.

The following day, Feb. 27, Naugatuck Police responded to the high school at 1:44 p.m. for a narcotic investigation. Police said a male student was in possession of 0.6 ounces of marijuana, a marijuana grinder, silver metal knuckles, and a 3-inch folding knife.

He was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds, possession of less than four ounces of marijuana, and use of drug paraphernalia. He was released to a parent and was scheduled to appear in juvenile court.

About an hour later that same day, at 2:55 p.m., officers responded to Naugatuck High School for another narcotic investigation involving a student. Police said a female student was found to be in possession of .04 ounces of marijuana.

She was charged with possession of under a half ounce of marijuana and released to the custody of a parent. She is scheduled to appear in juvenile court on March 10.
