Police Blotter: Three Pot Busts at Oxford High School, Vandalism at Great Oak

The following information was supplied by the Oxford Resident Trooper's Office. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

Police say two  juveniles were arrested this week for carrying small amounts of marijuana. Police are not releasing the students’ names because of their ages. The arrests come shortly after a third student was arrested last month and given an infraction (like a speeding ticket), which is what the revised state law calls for when someone possesses less than one half ounce of marijuana. Police say they have received no calls from parents or anyone else expressing concerns about a drug problem at the high school, though local police say they take these types of cases seriously.

A local woman was arrested on Monday after she punched her boyfriend several times in the parking lot of a local gas station and then drove away fast, police said.

Police received a call about the case at the and gas station at 357 Oxford Road. Just before they arrived to the station, they said they saw a woman drive past them at a high rate of speed in a 1989 Honda Accord.
