A Naples teen, identified as Alexander Herreria, 18, was arrested after school staff discovered a box cutter and drug paraphernalia in his vehicle at Beacon High School on March 21, 2026, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office.

School personnel alerted authorities when Herreria was found parked in the school lot during school hours, rather than attending classes. An administrative search of both Herreria and his car led to the discovery of the items.
