A Virginia kindergarten teacher has been arrested after a substance believed to be cocaine was reportedly found in her desk, according to Complex and NBC12.
The teacher, Cybil, 46, works at Lakeview Elementary School in Colonial Heights. Division Superintendent William D. Sroufe said she was arrested and charged with felony possession of cocaine.
Officials say a school administrator contacted the Colonial Heights school resource officer on April 21 about a possible drug offense. The officer located Cybil and what he believed to be cocaine inside her desk. Students were at recess when she was taken into custody.
In a letter to families, the superintendent said student safety is a top priority and that the school division will follow School Board policies and procedures. He invited families with concerns to contact the school.
A parent told NBC12 the teacher had been a good fit for her daughter’s class. Cybil has worked as a teacher for seven years. She remained in custody at Riverside Regional Jail awaiting her next court appearance. The charge is an allegation, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
