A 17-year-old Le Roy resident is facing a felony drug-dealing charge after allegedly giving a high school student marijuana.
The student was later hospitalized when found "highly impaired" on the grounds of the high school April 15.
Charged with a Class D felony of Criminal Sale of Marijuana is Austin J. Nicometo of 45 North Street, Le Roy.
Under NYS law, giving another person drugs, even if no money changes hands, is considered a sale.
Nicometo is suspected of supplying the other youth with marijuana at a location in the village after school let out that day, and then the teen returned to the school for after-school activities.
Following arraignment, Nicometo was released under supervision of Genesee Justice.
