Student charged with selling marijuana, possessing knife at Waynesburg high school
An 18-year-old Waynesburg Central High School student was charged Thursday after he allegedly sold marijuana to another student and possessed a knife on school property.
Cody James Sampson of Waynesburg is charged with possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a weapon on school property.
Sampson allegedly sold a bag of marijuana to a 17-year-old student April 19 for $20. During the investigation, he was found with two additional bags of marijuana, $20 and a Stanley utility knife, according to court paperwork.
He initially denied possessing or selling marijuana, but later admitted to Waynesburg Borough Police that he sold the drugs to a student to support his own marijuana habit, the affidavit said.
Sampson was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge D. Glenn Bates, who set a $5,000 unsecured bond in the case.
His preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m. May 3 before Bates.
