Police Blotter: Assault, Minor in Possession and Larceny

A 14-year-old boy has been suspended from Lakeland High School after burning the hair of the 15-year-old boy sitting in front of him in class.

Police Chief Edward Harris said the incident happened on Wednesday during third hour.

"They were watching a movie in class when the teen pulled out a lighter and burned a small amount of hair off the back of the head of the teen in front of him," Harris said.

The 15-year-old filed a complaint with the liaison officer. Harris said the 14-year-old was brought in and admitted to doing it, saying it was stupid.

The case is being referred to a youth assistence program in lieu of prosecution.

Minor in possession

A 17-year-old was pulled over in White Lake for an equipment violation on Thursday.

"When the officer got the window he smelled intoxicants on the teen's breath and noticed that his eyes were glassy and bloodshot," Harris said.

The teen told the officer he had just smoked some K2, a synthetic legal drug. He submitted to a PBT and blew a .03. The legal limit is .08.

The teen was issued a minor in possession and released according to Harris.

Theft from construction site

A number of items were taken from the medical facility construction site on Elizabeth Lake Road sometime between Feb. 25 and March 1. The items include scaffolding and 700 feet in aluminum wiring.

"Our detectives are following up and checking local recycling places," Harris said.

The incident remains under investigation.
