Central Student Faces Felony Charge After Being Caught with Drugs at School
The student told police he found Oxycodone pills inside a sealed plastic bag in the school bathroom and denied a witness report that he was snorting them, a criminal complaint alleges.
A Brookfield Central High School student is facing a felony charge after he and another student allegedly were caught with Oxycodone inside a school bathroom.
Phillip H. Wang, 17, of Brookfield, was charged as an adult in Waukesha County Circuit Court last week with one count of possession with intent to deliver a narcotic near a school. If convicted, he faces up to 3½ years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint:
On Dec. 19, a Central High student told school administrators he heard Wang and another student crush up and snort pills inside a stall in a school bathroom. Administrators and police approached Wang, and discovered he had six Oxycodone pills hidden in his sock.
Wang, a National Merit Semifinalist and cross-country athlete, told police he found the pills inside a sealed plastic bag in a toilet at the school and had no idea what they were. He also denied snorting the pills, saying any powder found in the bathroom must be left from whomever was trying to discard the pills.
However, the other student told police he found out Wang had Oxycodone pills from a Facebook message and had been texting him in order to purchase the pills. Police searched the student’s phone and found the text messages, the criminal complaint alleges.
Wang will make his first court appearance April 16.

Myteensavers counselors treat teen addicts. You won't believe the shock on parents' faces when you tell them that they may have been their child's drug dealer. Unattended pills in the home is an invitation to experiment. Kids are not afraid to try high powered opiates, once someone tells them how great it felt. But when that costly high goes away, teens turn to cheaper heroin. Teen addicts often say that parents don't enforce the anti-drug message and that home drug testing may have stopped them from trying in the first place. Don't let experimentation lead to addiction.

This is another example why we must lock up current medications and properly dispose of unneeded medications. Reduce access and temptation. Keep in mind it might not be your child who may look for medications but a visitor to your home can easily search cabinets and drawers undetected. Drug Free Communities again will host a drug collection. April 28th at 7 locations across Waukesha County. Some changes this year as we work in conjunction with the DEA: collection time will be from 10am - 2pm, Brookfield site has moved to the Brookfield Recycling Center, site added at the Muskego Police Dept. Medications will be collected and then properly incinerated. Please keep your medications locked up until then. Watch for more detailed information coming soon.
