On March 12, Bonners Ferry High School
coordinated efforts with law enforcement to
reduce the presence of drugs in and around the
High School campus.
The Bonner County Sheriff’s Office assisted the
Bonners Ferry Police Department, Boundary County
Drug Task Force and Boundary County Sheriff’s
Office in identifying students who were
responsible for bringing illegal drugs and drug
related items into the school.
Three Bonners Ferry High School students were
charged with drug related offenses. A 16 year
old student was arrested and later released to
parents on felony and misdemeanor possession
charges, as well as a misdemeanor charge of
providing false information to a peace officer.
A 17 year old student was arrested and later
released to parents on felony and misdemeanor
possession charges. The third student, 18 year
old Alex Pinson, was cited and released for
possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor.
The Bonners Ferry High School administration and
staff wants to ensure that all students have a
safe, healthy school environment. They recognize
that illegal drug use can pose a risk to their
students.
In coordinating with law enforcement to reduce
the presence of dangerous drugs in the school,
the high school made efforts to minimize the
disruption to the regular school day.
