| Student drug arrests top 1 per week in Prescott |
EDITOR'S NOTE: This school year has already seen at least four drug-related arrests in the past two weeks on Prescott Unified School District campuses, reinforcing the drug education needed for young students. We have examined the campus drug arrests and awareness during the 2009-10 school year. No names of those arrested are used since the students involved are minors.
From the beginning of the 2009-10 school year until the last day of school, 59 children - more than one child a week - had been arrested for drug offenses, said Lt. Andy Reinhardt, spokesman for the Prescott Police Department.
