Ore. teacher sentenced for giving kids painkillers
By Associated Press
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon teacher accused of supplying students with prescription painkillers has been sentenced to 300 days in jail.
Barbara Trotta pleaded guilty in a Klamath County court Monday to a charge of delivering the painkiller Vicodin to a child, and no contest to three counts of using a minor in a drug offense. She also pleaded no contest to official misconduct, and had 12 other counts dismissed as part of a plea bargain. The Mazama High School special education teacher was arrested in November after allegedly involving students in drug transactions over a two-year period. The drugs included painkillers, sleeping medication and marijuana. The Klamath Falls Herald and News reported that the 39-year-old forfeited her teaching license as part of the sentence. |
