While investigating how the student might acquire drugs, police became aware of Harlom-Garrison and went to investigate. In a statement released to the media by Riverside PD, they explained:

“Officers searched the cottage and found hundreds of suspected fentanyl pills, two handguns and various types of ammunition.”

“It simply came to our notice then. Outside of the allegations, we regret that our students’ health and safety were at risk. This is completely unacceptable to us! Our staff and administration are liaising with everyone involved to ensure that our students are being cared for. We may be surprised, but we are not confused about providing excellent education. ”
