Two male students from the North Platte High School were cited after a random canine search Wednesday morning, conducted by the North Platte Police Department.

Six officers from the NPPD and four canine units searched 1,500 lockers and just under 700 parking stalls in under an hour. According to Officer Rodney Brown the working dogs were alerted on 17 lockers and five vehicles. Bridgeport and Broken Bow and Cheyenne and Lincoln County agencies all provided K9 assistance

A random canine inspection of the High School happens at least once a year. Schools are able to request a search any time.

According to the NPPD, the two male juveniles were allegedly cited for possession of marijuana less than one ounce and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The search also led to an additional investigation of three non student male subjects that suspiciously drove past the school more than once.

About 20 minutes later officers made contact with the suspect driver 21 year old Dylan Herrick, the passenger attempted to conceal a container with trace amounts to Marijuana.

It was found that Herrick was in possession of Marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Herrick received a citation and was released.
