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 Thursday’s arrest. Hall County Sheriff’s 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.
“I’ve worked drugs and gangs for a long time and it was one of the larger cocaine seizures I’ve 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 won’t 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 public’s help in finding him.

Oh wait, she’s a school teacher….proving that bad teachers do bad things like very few cops also do bad things.

I would say she doubled as a drug dealer, but that's me.

$6 million in drugs and they can't afford full-auto?

I bet she was popular with some of the students, and maybe with some of her fellow teachers

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.

This pleases you, I know….as it should.
You libertarians argue that government should have no power to interfere with adult citizens decision to ingest as much or whatever addictive substances as they choose to. So long as they do no harm to anyone but themselves….and there should be no laws against using drugs.
Right?
Of course, that’s right.
So, the troops and the CIA are not interfering….you are of course not complaining. You are naturally joyful since good old Uncle Sam and the CIA are doing you bastards a favor here by protecting your precious drug supply. The least you assholes can do is to say “thank you” to the the troops and the CIA for their efforts in trying to make drugs readily accessible on demand for you.
