As the dust starts to settle regarding the alleged illegal usage of prescription drugs by Baldwin High School students, at least one thing has become clear. Such behavior will not be tolerated, both police and school officials say. “The people that are involved in these activities at the school or near school property, will have to answer for their activities,” said Mike McKenna, Baldwin City police chief. “We have a zero tolerance for drug and alcohol use. It hasn’t changed and it won’t change. “If you’re active in drug activity, we will find you and we will see that charges are brought against the individual or individuals,” said McKenna. Supt. Paul Dorathy assigned Bob Bezek, school district attorney, as spokesman for all information regarding the alleged use of illegally obtained drugs prior to the Sept. 8 game at Paola. “The administration at the high school has received allegations of violation of the law and school policy,” said Bezek. “An investigation was immediately initiated and, as to most of the allegations, has concluded.”
