An elementary school teacher in South Carolina was arrested and charged with drug possession after one of her students went to collect a reward from the classroom’s prize box and ended up with a marijuana edible that looked a lot like a candy lollipop.
Authorities claim that when the student pulled out the edible candy, the teacher, Victoria Farish Weiss, told him to get a different one, the student ended up picking out another edible, and school officials were informed.
Weiss was placed on administrative leave, and Lexington County deputies searched her home and found more goodies.
She was later fired from her school and turned herself in to police on Friday.
“The safety of our students is our top priority,” Lexington County School District Superintendent Greg Little said in a statement. “It is unacceptable for a staff member to potentially threaten the wellbeing of a child. We will continue to work to ensure all of our children have a safe environment to learn and grow.”
