A Minnesota high school has expelled a student for the remainder of the year after school officials discovered a pocket knife in her purse earlier this month.
Alyssa Drescher, 17, says that she was subject to a random search ten days ago after a drug dog mistook her perfume for a hit at United South Central High School.
“They smelled perfume, and they had to check my purse,” she told WCCO-TV.
When authorities looked through her purse they discovered a pocket knife the junior says she had used on her boyfriend’s farm for chores, but simply forgotten to remove.

School officials contended their zero tolerance policy didn’t leave them any choice but to issue a 12-month expulsion.
