(FRANKLIN) - Three middle school students in Franklin are accused of carrying and dealing prescription painkillers.

Police say a teacher was tipped off when one student showed up to class stumbling and slurring his words.

Officers at the school interviewed the student and learned that two eighth-graders were apparently trying to sell the painkillers to other students.

Police believe the students took the pills from home.
