If anyone can send me a verified contact for this major (440,000 circulation) newspaper, it will be POLICE, MARIJUANA-SNIFFING DOG SWEEP THROUGH MADISON HIGH MADISON - Nine Madison High School students face disciplinary action after a drug-sniffing dog yesterday found small amounts of marijuana in lockers and cars at the school. One female student, whose age was not available, was arrested, after Marco, a trained police dog, found two marijuana cigarettes in her car in the school parking lot. Eight male students, whose ages also were not available, face possible expulsion or suspension for either leaving school or having traces of marijuana in their lockers or cars. School officials will conduct hearings next week. Richard Mongell, Madison Township police detective, and Eastlake Patrolman Richard Greer, who is Marco's handler, assisted school officials in a sweep through the school and the parking lot, said Superintendent Stan Heffner. Heffner said lockers are school property, and students are warned they may be searched at any time. Students also are warned that the parking lot is patrolled. "Zero tolerance means zero tolerance," Heffner said. "If a student is going to be stupid enough to bring marijuana to school, they will have to pay the price. Students who don't break the law have nothing to worry about." ©1998 Plain Dealer Publishing
