Two ninth-grade girls at Cox High School were charged Friday with having LSD, police said.
One girl was charged with selling the drug for profit, and a search of her home turned up more LSD, police spokesman Lou Thurston said. A second girl, who police said got the drug from the first, was charged with possession of LSD.
Thurston said someone tipped off school administrators about the drug possession Friday. The administrators confronted one of the students and confiscated a small quantity of the drug. Then administrators contacted the school's assigned officer, Roger D. Miller.
Thurston said Miller traced the drug from the 14-year-old girl to the supplier, a 16-year-old girl. Both were taken to the Tidewater Detention Home.
Their names were not released because of their ages.
