Albert Leonard Middle School Students “Busted” for Marijuana Possession and Drug Dealing

Six middle school students were busted by school officials for marijuana possession and drug dealing, sources tell Talk of the Sound. One student was caught and identified 5 other suspects –two from Scarsdale, the rest from New Rochelle. Albert Leonard Middle School officials turned over evidence to the New Rochelle Police Department.

The drug bust came just days before the annual School Board meeting at Albert Leonard Middle School held on March 24, 2009. Not surprisingly word of the drug dealing on the ALMS campus was not on the agenda that night. School officials have done their best to keep a tight lid on this story which first began to surface publicly in the comments section of this web site over the weekend.

Sources tell Talk of the Sound Principal Bill Evans confiscated marijuana and turned it over to local police. TOS has contacted the New Rochelle Police Department to obtain any public records. All of the students from New Rochelle have reportedly been suspended and will face Superintendent’s hearings, a form of hearing required when a suspension is for a period of more than five days. In the past, students caught dealing drugs at Albert Leonard have been expelled from school for the remainder of the school year.

UPDATE: NRPD confirms they were called to the school on March 17th.
