At least one of two teenagers caught with marijuana on the Union High School campus in Camas on Thursday was trying to deal the drug, according to court documents.
The 15-year-old and 16-year-old boys appeared in Clark County Juvenile Court on Friday. The 16-year-old faces a charge of possession of less than 40 grams of marijuana with intent to deliver. The 15-year-old faces a charge of possession of more than 40 grams of marijuana at school. Both boys are scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Nov. 21.
Court Commissioner Jennifer Snider released both boys to their parents’ homes.
The 16-year-old told Vancouver police that his intent was to “sell (the marijuana) to anybody” and to make $250 or more, according to a court affidavit. He also was found to be possession of another person’s driver’s license, the affidavit says. He said he uses it to buy “chew,” the court document says.
The 15-year-old said that he brought more than 5 ounces of marijuana to school in his backpack because he couldn’t find a safe place to hide it, according to court documents.
The court records don’t explain how the marijuana was discovered. However, one of the witnesses listed in court documents is a security guard at the high school.
