The other student, a 14-year-old boy, was charged with possession of Prozac without a prescription.

The alleged incident took place during the eighth-grade lunch period at Benjamin Franklin Middle School. Police said the girl passed three capsules of Prozac -- a prescription anti-depressant -- to the boy. The boy consumed one of the pills.

In addition to criminal charges, both students could face school sanctions.
