Incidents
editIn a scene reminiscent of the old TV show 21 Jump Street, police arrested 16 students on April 16, 2010, accused of delivering drugs on Brazoria County's Columbia High School campus after an undercover officer posing as a student named “Victor” allegedly bought the goods from them. The raid, which took place around 9:30 a.m. during fourth-period classes, took everyone by surprise but was conducted efficiently and quietly with the students being called out of their classrooms and to the office, where they were arrested, school officials said. The students were charged with felony offenses alleging they delivered drugs in a drug-free zone. Another student who has moved out of Brazoria County will be arrested later, said Sheriff Charles Wagner. The drugs, bought by a Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District undercover officer during his three-month stint on campus, included marijuana, cocaine, hydrocodone, Xanax and other prescription drugs, Wagner said. School district police “had developed information they had a problem over there and decided to do something about it,” Wagner said. Those arrested ranged from freshmen to seniors, spanning ages from 16 to 19, and included two girls. Five are legally considered adults.[10]
