A North Platte man is facing numerous felony drug charges after an investigation that began when two North Platte High School students arrived at school “impaired.”

On October 29, two students arrived and North Platte High School and were, according to police, showing signs of impairment.

Police say one of the students was transported to Great Plains Health by ambulance after school officials became concerned that the student had ingested prescription pills.

School administrators contacted the School Resource Officer and a criminal investigation was initiated.

During the investigation, police learned that the two students may have obtained the drugs from 20-year-old Logan Reed.

On November 2, NPPD investigators obtained and executed a search warrant on Reed’s home in the 200 block of North Walnut Street.

The search yielded numerous narcotics, including marijuana, hydrocodone, hash oil and drug paraphernalia that field-tested positive for methamphetamine.

As a result, Reed was placed under arrest and charged with felony distribution of a schedule IV controlled substance, felony possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, felony possession of a schedule II controlled substance with intent to deliver, felony possession of hash oil, felony possession of methamphetamine and two felony child abuse charges.

Police say the distribution offenses are enhanced because Reed sold the narcotics to someone under the age and within 1000 feet of a school.

Reed is being held at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
