A high school teacher faces marijuana possession charges after drug-sniffing dogs on a routine campus sweep led police to his classroom desk, authorities said.
No drugs were found in the desk of Stakely McConnell, a Spanish teacher at Ball High School in Galveston, Texas. Instead, the dogs smelled papers that had a marijuana odor transferred from McConnell's hands, school police chief LeeRoy Amador said.
McConnell, 25, admitted to smoking marijuana over the weekend, Amador said.
Because the alleged discovery happened in a drug-free zone, the district attorney can increase the charge to a state jail felony, which carries a maximum two-year sentence and $10,000 fine.
