Texas Teacher Busted for Drugs

(Baytown, Texas) A 33-year-old teacher with Goose Creek Schools, Angela Newport Rowland, was arrested this week for allegedly possessing drugs.

Rowland has been charged with three counts of drug possession after Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies found marijuana, cocaine and Ecstasy inside a motor home in which she was riding.

Authorities stopped the motor home on Interstate 45 near Texas 242 because it had an expired registration, sheriff’s officials said.

After smelling the odor of marijuana, deputies asked to search the vehicle, investigators said. Rowland and three others riding in the motor home consented to the search, they said.

The deputies reported finding small quantities of marijuana, cocaine and the designer drug Ecstasy.

Also arrested were Catherine Elizabeth Labure, 45, of Highlands; Matthew Edward Rowland, 40, of Baytown; and John Douglas Rowland, 43, also of Baytown.

All four were booked into the Montgomery County Jail and later released on bail. Rowland was placed on administrative leave by the school system.

Heh. Riding around with illegal drugs in a vehicle with an expired registration is absolutely dumb. I bet the dope made them stupid.
