BERLIN — Police said a Stephen Decatur High School student was arrested Monday and charged with mailing three packages containing animal excrement to a vice-principal at the school.
The student is in 12th grade, and the administrator is Vice Principal Mark Flynn, according to Barb Witherow, a spokeswoman for Worcester County Schools. She declined to name the youth.
Witherow said the student has been punished with a 10-day suspension, which is the maximum amount of time a student can be suspended. She said she has no idea why Flynn was the recipient of the package.
“We do promote a respectful and positive learning environement. Any inappropriate or disruptive or illegal activity is not acceptable,” she said.
The juvenile male, whose name and age police have not released, was arrested and charged with three counts of disturbing activities at school and three counts of molesting a school administrator.
