Nevada Teacher Faces Drug Charges

(Fernley, Nevada) A 43-year-old former special-education teacher at Fernley Intermediate School, Kymberly Tamburello, has been accused of methamphetamine and marijuana possession and trafficking charges with arraignment scheduled for this week. She was originally charged last October after a search by authorities found significant quantities of drugs in her home.

According to Lyon County Deputy District Attorney Brandi Jensen, Kymberly Tamburello is expected to plead not guilty and opt for a trial.

Kymberly's husband, Charles Tamburello, 42, pleaded guilty to trafficking methamphetamine in November 2006 and in January he was sentenced to one to four years in the Nevada State Prison.
