Arizona Teacher & Hubby Busted for Dope

(Phoenix, Arizona) A 47-year-old sixth-grade teacher in the Isaac School District in west Phoenix, Michelle Coniff, and her 49-year-old husband, John, a respiratory therapist, were arrested Saturday after Arizona officers discovered 14 pounds of marijuana in their vehicle during a traffic stop.

They had been pulled over for an improper display of a license plate.

Officers said the occupants were acting unusual and officers also smelled a strong marijuana odor.

A drug sniffing dog was brought in and it led officers to a duffel bag containing 14 pounds of hydroponically grown marijuana.

Each Coniff was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale, transportation of marijuana for sale and conspiracy to distribute and sell marijuana.

Strangely, one might think that Mr. Coniff, as a respiratory therapist, would not be a smoker.
