HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — Police in the Portland suburb of Hillsboro are trying to determine why four 17-year-old high school students who know each other fell ill.
Lt. Mike Rouches says police suspect the four male Liberty High School students may have taken some type of drug.
The spokesman says one student did say he took brown pills but the teens are not commenting beyond that. The Oregonian says police found no drugs in a search of the school.
Police and medics responded Wednesday afternoon after school officials reported that one of the students had stumbled in the halls and was slightly incoherent. Rouches says school officials then found a second student slightly incoherent. Those two teens were sent to a hospital. Two other students were checked by medics on scene. The spokesman says they had dilated eyes and slightly elevated heart rates.
