Over the last 10 days, three RHAM students have been arrested and charged with a variety of misdemeanors. Two fourteen year old students were arrested on May 7th after they were found in possession of a knife on school grounds. The two have officially been charged with breach of peace. According to police reports, the school administration was able to locate and retrieve the knife after the arrests took place.
Also, on May 11th, a 17-year old student was arrested and charged with both unauthorized sale of drugs within 1,500 feet of a school building and possession of less than four ounces of marijuana. This arrest was the result of internal investigations within the school itself.
Superintendent Robert Siminski was not authorized to comment on either case, as both are ongoing investigations, but he did say that generally these kinds of incidents come to the administration's attention by either a student tip-off or a call from a parent or teacher requesting an investigation of a specific case.
RHAM News will have updates on these two cases as they develop.
