High School Incident

Police report they arrested two Newtown High School students on the morning of April 5 at the school.

Following an investigation by school administrators and police, a 17-year-old male student was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.

Eric Egdahl, 18, who had been with the 17-year-old at the time, then became hostile and combative toward a school administrator regarding the investigation and was consequently charged with breach of peace, police said.

Both youths were transported to the police station for arrest processing, after which they were released for April 14 appearances in Danbury Superior Court, police said.
