Police: Urine, Pot Found in Kinnelon Student's Purse

A 17-year-old female student was allegedly found with a pill bottle filled with urine, a pipe and marijuana in school last week and later charged with possession of under 50 grams of marijuana on school property and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

said they were called on Oct. 17 at about 9:50 a.m. by KHS Vice Principal Matthew Scanlon who told Det./Sgt. David Crouthamel that while conducting an internal, independent investigation, he observed a clear aspirin bottle with a yellow liquid inside her purse. Scanlon told police that the student allegedly admitted that the liquid was urine she had received from another individual so  she could use it to pass a urine test.

Police said Scanlon also allegedly found a pipe painted to look like a cigarette with marijuana inside and a Maryland driver’s license that listed the female as being 22 years old.

The female student was transported to the police department by her mother. She was later released.
