Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. – Crescenta Valley Station detectives are continuing their investigation into a juvenile student who ingested an unknown amount of Xanax. The incident occurred at La Cañada High School at approximately 11:35 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 21. The student was transported to the hospital and, because he is a juvenile, no other information is being released on his condition.

Crescenta Valley Station deputies discovered the pills were allegedly sold to the victim by an 18-year-old
LCHS male student. During the investigation, it was further found the suspect was in possession of additional narcotics. The student was arrested and booked at Crescenta Valley Station for child endangerment and suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale.

The 18-year-old student, who had been suspended from the school, returned to the LCHS campus on the following Friday. Once found on campus the suspended student was asked to leave by administrators;
however, he had a medical episode and was transported to a local hospital.

Another LCHS student was also medically trans-ported from the school on Feb. 21 due to a completely unrelated issue, according to Dep. Eric Matejka.
