Teacher Found with Cocaine in School: Reactions and Sympathy Abound
A middle school teacher in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was arrested after a drug dog alerted officials to the presence of cocaine in her wallet during a random search. The teacher, identified as 47-year-old Virginia Somers, allegedly told authorities the cocaine belonged to a friend. Following the discovery, a search of Somers’ car revealed marijuana and related paraphernalia. Somers, who teaches Math Intervention at Westdale Middle School, now faces possession charges, and the East Baton Rouge Parish Public School System has stated the matter is being handled according to its policies.
