A crossing guard in Pennsylvania has sparked significant outrage following her arrest for allegedly providing drugs to middle school students and even smoking marijuana with one of them.
Delaware County police apprehended 26-year-old Kiara Lee, an employee at Penn Wood Middle School, on Tuesday after witnesses reported seeing her distribute e-cigarettes and marijuana edibles to children.
According to TMZ there were loads of other similar claims against Lee — one student’s guardian said Lee had been giving their child vapes and marijuana edibles.
That’s not all — there are also claims Lee stayed in touch with a student through text messages, where they’d swap stories about munching on edibles.
Darby Borough Chief Joseph Gabe didn’t mince words as he stated the obvious …
“While marijuana might not seem like a big deal to some folks in the community, I think we can all agree that crossing guards should not be providing narcotics — even if it is ‘just’ marijuana — to our kids.”
Lee’s facing serious charges: 2 felony counts of drug possession with intent to deliver, 2 misdemeanor counts of corruption of a minor, and 2 misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana.
She apparently couldn’t post the $20,000 bail, so now she’s cooling her heels in the Delaware County jail. She’s got a date in court for a preliminary hearing on June 14.
