Indiana Teacher Arrested After Students Find Meth Hidden in Hair Scrunchie at ‘Family Fun Night’ Event
An Indiana teacher has been arrested after students found methamphetamine hidden in her hair scrunchie during a “Family Fun Night” event on September 12.
The eighth-grade teacher at Helfrich Park STEM Academy, Sarah Jayne Duncan, was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail on Wednesday evening.
According to a report from Newsweek, “Duncan attended the event, along with her daughter who is a student at the school, where she allegedly took a picture with two students in a photo booth. Both students later stated that Duncan let her hair down for the photo, leaving behind a blueish colored velvet-type scrunchie with a white zipper.”
“According to the affidavit, the students noticed the scrunchie was heavier than a typical one and proceeded to open the zipper pouch where they found a glass vial that contained a white powder substance along with a cut straw and more white powder,” the report continued.
