Henrico Charges Middle Schoolers in Drug Distribution Probe


Posted on May 14, 2009

Sixteen students from Byrd and Tuckahoe middle schools in Henrico County have been charged with distributing and/or possessing the prescription drug Adderall, a psychostimulant used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Adderall can be abused and may be habit-forming. Improper use can cause serious side effects to the heart and death.

A total of 32 charges against the 16 students have been lodged stemming from the distribution of the drug on April 24 and April 30 according to a police spokesman. The police did not release the names or ages of those arrested because they are juveniles, but middle schools hold classses for students in grades 6 through 8, and the typical student age ranges from 11 to 14.

Of the 16 kids involved, 13 were Byrd Middle School students and the other 3 attended Tuckahoe Middle School.
