Students Pass Cocktail Around at Westview Middle

A 14-year-old girl has been charged with possession of alcohol after a teacher confiscated a water bottle with liquor that was being passed around the class.

The principal contacted Goose Creek Police on Friday morning after the teacher turned over the water bottle that contained a red liquor with a strong odor, according to the initial report.

The girl allegedly responsible for the bottle told police that she mixed the drink at home before bringing it to school. She allegedly let two other students drink from the bottle during class before putting it back in her book bag.

She said she did not know who pulled the bottle back out of her bag and handed it around the classroom.

The girl was released to her parents, with her case forwarded to Goose Creek Youth Court. The two other students involved are expected to receive disciplinary action from the school administration, according to police.
