Arrest

A Gloucester High School student was arrested yesterday and accused of selling marijuana in school.

Cody Lorentzen, 18, of 20 Exchange St., Apt. 2, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after a student reported drug sales to high school Assistant Principal Mark Bedrosian.

High school administrators found a plastic bag filled with several smaller plastic bags filled with marijuana, then called police, according to the police report.

Lorentzen told officers that he was selling the drug because he "needed to buy a car," according to the police report.

School officials told police Lorentzen would be suspended.
