SoCal Teacher Busted for Meth

(Chula Vista, California) A 32-year-old biology teacher at Castle Park High School, Danika Garcia, has been accused of possession of methamphetamine.

Garcia was arrested on Nov. 10 when police found her in possession of 3.55 grams of meth.

Garcia was placed on leave after district officials were notified of the arrest Nov. 22 by the District Attorney’s Office, spokeswoman Lillian Leopold said.

“She will remain on unpaid leave until final disposition of criminal case, and then once the criminal case is settled, then the district will make its final decision,” Leopold said.

Garcia was booked into custody and released on $5,000 bail. A court appearance is scheduled for January 11.
