SAN ANTONIO – Two teenagers were arrested after deputies found several THC vape pens, spent shell casings and a fake gun inside a car that was parked on campus, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.

BCSO said deputies saw the car parked at the Brennan High School parking lot at 2 p.m. on Monday and witnessed “multiple” male juveniles go in and out of the vehicle.

Deputies said they saw them smoking and smoke coming from the car. When the car left the parking lot, deputies pulled it over for failing to use a turn signal.

BCSO said they found a fake gun on the floorboard of the car, spent shell casings and several THC vape pens.

Five juvenile males were inside the car, and two 16-year-old boys were arrested.

They were charged with possession of a controlled substance, 1-4G PG2, BCSO said. More people may be charged as the investigation continues.

Earlier this week, BCSO said they were going to increase patrols near Brennan due to a rise in drug and gun incidents.

According to the Texas Tribune, possession of an illegal vape pen can lead to up to 10 years in prison.

Delta-8 THC pens are legal and available for purchase at stores across Texas, but Delta-9 THC pens remain illegal in concentrations higher than 0.3%.
