DOUGLAS COUNTY - Eight Mountain Vista High School students were found smoking marijuana laced with heroin Thursday.
Eleven freshmen at Mountain Vista High were questioned after police confiscated heroin-laced marijuana Thursday morning. Three students face charges.
The school is in Highlands Ranch near Wildcat Reserve Parkway.
The students were found smoking in a drainage area on open space near the school, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. The spot is a popular place for students to smoke so it is regularly patrolled.
After contacting the students, deputies performed a field test on the pot, which found traces of heroin. The marijuana will also be tested by a Douglas County or Colorado Bureau of Investigation lab to confirm the results.
The sheriff's office says lacing marijuana with heroin is not an uncommon tactic used by drug dealers.
All of the students involved are between the ages of 14 and 15 years old. Three of them will likely be charged with possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, according to the sheriff's office.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says the students probably didn't know the pot was laced.
This is the second time in a week that authorities have confiscated marijuana from the school. Officials think the first batch might also have been laced with heroin.
