Previous pepper spray incident

On March 11, 14 Baltimore County students were taken to the hospital for evaluation after a pepper spray incident on a school bus in the 6000 block of Ebenezer Road in White Marsh.

Police said the incident didn't appear to be malicious or intentional.

Vincent Farm Elementary School Principal Jamie Basignani said in a letter to parents that the student would face disciplinary action. 

Police said there were about 30 students on the bus.

Baltimore County Schools' policies and student behavior code prohibit the possession of mace, tear gas devices or pepper spray products, according to Basignani.
