UPDATE: Middle Schooler Arrested for Bringing Brandy Cocktail to School

Dublin Police officials confirm that a middle school student at T. D. Wells Middle School in Dublin was arrested on Friday after the student brought a "mixture of brandy and Gatorade" onto campus.

Lieutenant Herb Walters says the student was arrested and released to their parents.

"The student was also suspended by the school and may have other consequences handed down by the school," Walters said. "There will be some other follow-up by the School Resource Officer and the school later this week."

Tess Johnson, an administrator with the Dublin Unified School District, says the schools take these types of situations very seriously.

"This incident is currently under investigation and we are working with the police on this," Johnson said. "Due to the laws protecting student confidentiality, we cannot comment on any disciplinary actions."

Johnson noted that last year the district had a "courageous conversation" with parents districtwide at an event held at Dublin High about drug and alcohol issues.

"We plan to continue that conversation," she said. "We have a lot of resources and work without outside agencies for these type of issues. Whenever an incident arises, we do have a policy in place and we follow the student guidelines and cooperate with law enforcement."

Johnson added that "student safety is paramount."

District officials encourage any parent with questions about this type of incident, to contact the school principal.
