School spirit is in the air at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School, and it may be in a bottle, too.
Montgomery County police officers responded Thursday morning to a report of several intoxicated students at the school.
"This week is homecoming week," school spokesperson Dana Tofig told News4, "and a few students were showing spirit."
Tofig said alcoholic beverages were found in a vehicle on school property. Several students are being interviewed in the incident.
