Maine Teacher Accused of Furnishing Liquor to Minors

(Belfast, Maine) A 32-year-old Jobs for Maine’s Graduates teacher formerly at Belfast Area High School, Sarah Lawler-Stoddard, was arrested in February for supplying marijuana to students and smoking it with them.

Lawler-Stoddard was released on bail. According to Belfast Police Chief Mike McFadden:

While she was out on bail, however, officers who received an early morning report of suspicious activity in a Belfast hotel room on Feb. 21 found several young people in the room with Lawler-Stoddard, who was the only adult over 21 present.

The minors were between 18 and 21 years old, McFadden said, and all were current or former Belfast Area High School students. At least one had been Lawler-Stoddard’s former student.

“The officers gained access to the motel room. They searched it. They found marijuana paraphernalia as well as several bottles of alcohol,” said McFadden, adding that the room also smelled strongly of alcohol.[…]

Rockport police picked her up on the arrest warrant for furnishing liquor to a minor and violation of bail conditions.

Details on booking are unavailable.
