A Florida high-school teacher was busted for trafficking fentanyl after a motorist accused her of waving a gun during a road dispute, according to police.
Shavon Pearson, 38, an educator at Seminole High School, was pulled over after cops received a 911 call from her startled victim early Saturday, authorities said.
Arriving officers then spotted a marijuana blunt in plain sight in Pearson’s vehicle, and a search turned up 8 grams of fentanyl — twice the amount that qualifies for a drug-trafficking rap, officials said.
The 16-year education veteran, who taught ninth-graders, has since been placed on administrative leave, according to WESH.
“We don’t have any information or evidence that would indicate that that is something that she brought to campus, or any kind of drug transactions occurred on campus,” a district spokesperson told the outlet.
According to an arrest report, Pearson claimed that she was set up — a notion flatly rejected by responding officers.
“Teachers are people we, as parents, put in positions of trust,” police told WESH. “She has absolutely breached that trust.”
