Teacher planted pot in boy's locker

[boulder]

AN American assistant principal who was trying to get a student expelled admitted planting marijuana in the boy's locker, police said.

 

Police say Pat Conroy told them he placed the marijuana in the locker at South Haven High School, Michigan, last year because he suspected the boy was a drug dealer and wanted him expelled.

 

The plan failed because a police drug dog did not find the contraband during a school search last year.

 

Conroy, who has been placed on administrative leave, said he "lost his perspective" and had done something "stupid, arrogant and unethical", according to a police report. He told police that he only planted evidence once, according to the report.

 

It was unclear how the plan came to light.

 

Police searched Conroy's office on February 9 and found a drawer filled with packets of suspected marijuana and assorted pills, the police report said.

 

Conroy told police he had been collecting the drugs confiscated from students to use at student expulsion hearings as evidence.

 

School Board President Ed Bocock said he never saw drugs displayed at any student expulsion hearing he attended.

 

Prosecutors are reviewing the case to see whether Conroy could be charged with possession of marijuana.

typical police state mentality. Its OK to break the law yourself, as long as you're doing it to get someone you "know" is guilty.
