Gym Teacher, 4 Accomplices Arrested On Drug Charges
In an alarming example of the proximity of the ever growing drug culture and our school system, a gym teacher from Lacey Township Middle School has been arrested along with four other men on cocaine and illegal steroid charges, according to a Star Ledger report published Thursday, February 7th.
Kevin Tracy, 33 of Manahawkin was charged with a laundry list of New Jersey drug crimes, including: possession of cocaine, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, distribution of less than a half-ounce of cocaine, possession of steroids and possession of drug paraphernalia. A six year employee of the Lacey Township school system , Tracy was suspended from his $43,000 a year job according to state public employee records. Authorities did not immediately identify the type of steroid but said Tracy is not charged with distributing that substance or cocaine to students.
New Jersey Drug Charges can be life altering and very serious. Depending on specifics of the case, drug possession charges for first time offenders generally carry mild punishments. You may pay a fine and be ordered to participate in drug rehabilitation. Charges for selling drugs, like the ones being brought in this case, are much more severe and can carry harsher punishments, including lengthy jail time. A drug conviction for selling an illegal substance can adversely affect your life, your job and your future. It is vital that you have a strategic defense attorney on your side to achieve the best possible results.
