Arrested student lived outside school’s district

WILMINGTON — The recent arrest of a Hoggard football star on a felony drug charge has raised questions of whether he should have been enrolled in New Hanover County in the first place.

The arrest report for Shawn Sidbury indicates the running back lives in Hampstead — outside the Hoggard school district.

A school spokesperson says their records show him living within the school district in New Hanover County.

Sidbury was a key player in Hoggard’s state championship win this season. Police arrested him Saturday night for possessing ecstasy and marijuana.
