THC vapes seized from six Charles County students in one week
Charles County sheriff's deputies seized THC vaping devices from six students at four schools in Maryland in the first week of November, including an 8-year-old at Barnhart Elementary. Deputies said state law bars charging the students because of their ages, so the school system would issue citations and disciplinary actions instead.
