Bradley County Schools Director Johnny McDanielCLEVELAND, Tenn. – A combination of muscle relaxers and cough syrup landed two freshmen at Walker Valley High School in the hospital.
“We want to express our concern for the students and their families,” said Johnny McDaniel, director of Bradley County Schools in a news release. “They are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.”
The two unidentified boys first were taken to SkyRidge Medical Center in Cleveland after apparently taking the potent mixture while at school Friday morning and later were transported to T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital at Erlanger, said Stan Clark, spokesman for Bradley County EMS.
The condition of the students had not been released as of Friday afternoon.
One student is 15 years old, and the other is assumed to be of similar age, said Clark.
