Drug arrest

A 17-year-old Lakeside High School student was arrested Wednesday on a charge of selling a Schedule II narcotic while in school.

Kevin Eugene Hall, 17, of the 4000 block of Horseshoe Road in Martinez, was arrested Wednesday morning after a school official saw Kevin selling the drug Adderall to a 16-year-old classmate in school, Columbia County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris said. The incident also was recorded on the school's video surveillance system, he said.

Kevin was released from the Columbia County Detention Center after posting a $2,600 bond Wednesday afternoon.
