The matter was referred to the Chehalis Police Department on Aug. 28 with supporting evidence collected by Green Hill staff.

"This is an example of how Green Hill partners with the Chehalis Police Department to ensure the safety of young people, staff, and the community,” said Green Hill Superintendent Harold Wright Jr."We are proud to have staff who are committed to safety and security. Their hard work successfully prevented contraband from coming into our facility.”
