GASTON COUNTY, N.C.,None — A Gaston County elementary school principal found cocaine at his school on Monday.
Robinson Elementary School principal Bill Kessler told Gastonia police Monday that he found a white powder on the brick wall near the school office. A drug test determined that the substance was cocaine, according to a police report.
Kessler told police he was not able to see anything from the security cameras because the county turns the spotlights out at night to save money. Kessler said he would ask the county if the lights could be turned back on because of this incident, according to the report.
The remainder of the white power was washed off the bricks.
Robinson Elementary is located at 3122 Union Road. Students return to school Aug. 25. The school serves students in grades kindergarten through third.
