BOULDER — Boulder police arrested three juveniles Thursday after receiving a complaint April 4 by Nevin Platt Middle School officials who said a student had brought two prescription drugs to school to swap with another student for alcohol.
The drugs the students had were Strattera and Concerta, both used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The student who got the drugs gave a Strattera pill to another student, who swallowed it, got sick, then went home. Another student got the remaining pills for safekeeping, school officials said.
Two of the students have been charged with distribution and possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance and unlawful acts, while the third was charged with possession of a Scheduled II Controlled Substance and unlawful act. Possession and distribution of a Schedule II Controlled Substance is a felony, officials said.
