It was a stunning development when a local teacher was arrested at Hickory Creek Elementary last week and charged with buying over $200 in drugs in the school parking lot.Perhaps the biggest chop to the throat was this reportedly happened during school hours with children just a hop, skip and a jump away.It's not exactly the type of activity I would expect during a normal school day. But perhaps it was a normal day at Hickory Creek as law enforcement officials say the school had been on their radar for six months and more than one teacher is under suspicion.Said Sheriff's Department chief investigator Marc Martin in a story we published last Friday, “There could be more arrests of teachers at Hickory Creek."Teachers making drug deals in the school parking lot is not the best way to promote a positive learning environment, but it should be stressed the actions of one or two are not indicative of the entire school. In the interest of full disclosure, I have a wife who teaches at Hickory Creek.
