School Resource Officer Investigating Possible Overdose after Student Obtained Cannabis Edible at High School: On May 16 just after 3p.m., patrol officers responded to a residence in Waldorf for the report of an overdose. Initial investigation revealed that a juvenile had obtained a cannabis edible shortly before dismissal at St. Charles High School, and called 911 after arriving home and becoming ill. The victim was transported to a hospital for evaluation. The School Resource Officer was notified and began an investigation. As officers continue their investigation to determine where the student got the edible, parents are urged to talk to their children about the dangers of ingesting foods or liquids that contain dangerous substances.
