Oakland County Prosecutor Karen D. McDonald announced charges against 19-year-old Kristopher Halterman of Clarkston after a parent reported that their 12-year-old child had purchased THC and nicotine vape products near his elementary school. Sheriff’s Deputies identified Halterman as the alleged seller.
Deputies executed a search warrant at Halterman’s residence in his grandparents’ basement, where they recovered THC and nicotine vape devices, marijuana, and several thousand dollars in cash.
“This defendant’s alleged actions are shocking,” Prosecutor McDonald said. “Selling drugs to school children puts their health and safety at risk, and I commend the parent who discovered this crime and made our community safer by calling the police.”
Halterman has been charged with Possession With Intent To Distribute Marijuana, a felony punishable by up to four years in prison.
As always, charges are accusations and individuals are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
