Patch news partner Fox2 reports that the two students are facing suspension and have been referred to juvenile court.
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO (KTVI) – Two Parkway students face suspension after they were caught with pot-laced brownies at school. Police say these Parkway West High School students made the brownies and planned to pass them out on school grounds. However, Chesterfield police say one of their classmates tipped off administrators, who quickly called in law enforcement. Most pot brownies look exactly like ordinary brownies, which could be why the teens thought they’d be safe to bring to school. Dan Duncan, with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, explains, “Obviously, for someone who wants to hide the fact that they’re using marijuana, putting it in a food product will do that, as opposed to sitting there smoking it.” But getting …

Blaine Gabbert, who grew up in Ballwin, officially was drafted into the NFL on Thursday.
Blaine Gabbert most likely wasn't banking on a career in the NFL when he was leading Parkway West High School as the Longhorns' quarterback before graduating in 2008. But after two winning seasons as starting quarterback at the University of Missouri, and an onslaught of media hype regarding his NFL future, Gabbert’s entrance into the NFL is a reality. What few, if any, draft observers expected, however, was seeing Gabbert taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars as the 10th overall pick—a relatively low spot for the 21-year-old who many rated as the No. 1 quarterback draft prospect. "I was expecting to get drafted by the end of the night," Gabbert said on ESPN. "I had no preconceived notions coming into tonight. And hey, I'm a No. 10 overall …
