Two teenagers sneaked a loaded gun and bags of drugs into a Cobb County high school Monday, police said.

Channel 2 Action News reported that the Pebblebrook High School students — 17-year-old Holton Naylor and 18-year-old Tybias Davis — were arrested and remain in the Cobb County jail without bond.

Authorities said they hid the guns and drugs in a backpack, the news station reported. When Naylor left the bag outside of a classroom, Davis allegedly took it to a bathroom and returned with it. That caused someone to report the activity to an administrator.

When officers confronted Naylor about it, he allegedly took the loaded gun out of the bag and tried to hide it in his pants, Channel 2 reported. Police said they also found a jar “that contained nine individually packaged baggies of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana,” according to a warrant.

Naylor and Davis were each charged with drug and gun offenses.
