A middle school teacher who doubles as a soccer coach was arrested after police in Georgia raided her home and found $6.2 million in cocaine and heroin, reports KTLA sister station Fox 5.
Karla Alvarez, 28, and two others face drug trafficking and gun charges following Thursdays arrest. Hall County Sheriffs Office Lt. Scott Ware told reporters that police got information that there was probably a substantial amount of drugs in the house in Oakwood and obtained a search warrant, the Gainesville Times reports. They reportedly found 61 kilos of coke, a kilo of heroin, and two semi-automatic assault rifles.
Ive worked drugs and gangs for a long time and it was one of the larger cocaine seizures Ive ever seen, says Ware.

Answering questions tonight on how or why a teacher who taught my kids is now in jail for cocaine and heroin is difficult, one parent posted on Facebook. At least the drugs wont make it to the streets and out in our community.
Alvarez has taught at Chestatee Academy in Gainesville since August 2015 and coached the girls soccer team. Monica Pascual Brito, 24, was arrested with Alvarez and faces the same charges. A third suspect, Ricardo Pascual Brito, 25, was at large, and authorities asked for the publics help in finding him.

Plenty more where that came from.
Pretty nice scam...U.S. soldiers guard the crops, the CIA works out a deal with the cartels and ships in the drugs and then the cops arrest the users and sellers.
