Teacher arrested after students catch her doing drugs in classroom, police say
6:42 AM EST U.S. CBS NEWS A teacher at Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana faces drug-related charges after allegedly being caught by students using drugs in her classroom, CBS Chicago reports.
The student witnesses contacted school administrators, who called St. John police, who, in turn, requested assistance from Dyer police for their drug-sniffing dog.
Arrested was 24-year-old Samantha Cox, who was led from the school at about 1 p.m. Wednesday. She faces felony drug possession and misdemeanor paraphernalia charges and is being held in the Lake County Jail.
Student John Rogers says he recorded cell video of Cox, his English teacher, snorting what police say may have been a mixture of cocaine and heroin.
"She tried to hide herself," Rogers tells CBS Chicago. "She wasn't at her desk where we could see her. She was all the way in the corner where she thought we can't see her."
Another student, Michael Sanchez, says: "It is like a serious thing. A lot of people can get addicted to a lot of things, and something like this is, it's very heart-breaking."
In a statement, St. John Chief James Kveton said the students showed "a tremendous amount of fortitude and integrity" by going directly to the principal.
In a robocall to parents, Lake Central Superintendent Larry Veracco said police and school staff took "swift and forceful action."
He said safety "remains the top priority of our school staff."
Video posted to social media allegedly shows a woman using cocaine in a corner of an empty classroom. It could not immediately be authenticated.

With a name like that I'm surprised she wasn't banging one of the guys in her class too 
Reminds me of HS science class once when a kid was making a bong out of an arizona tea can I still remember the teacher saying "I know what you're doing, I went to college".... 
Another time in the same class after an electronic show the night before some kid did a demonstration with his light up gloves and another kid starting chanting "molly molly molly" 
That was a funny class. The teacher once went off and explained why woman friendzone guys from a scientific perspective, because he was butt hurt some girl he was trying to have a long distance relationship with friend zoned him

Somehow this doesn't surprise me. The kids being stalkers and secretly filming the teacher that is.

 In case anyone was wondering what happens, when you take a mixture of cocaine and heroin, now you know. 
Although I'm technically a Millennial, I had several disco-looking teachers, with paisley, polyester, exceptionally-large shirt collars, bell bottom pants, and afros. They were cruisy, conspicuous drug users.
Don't mind if you do. k 
But, they were petty, micromanaging authoritarians.

In highschool I had one teacher that was definitely loaded on something pretty much every day of class, some days more so than others.
I suspect it was prescription opioids and/or benzos and/or muscle relaxers. We never saw her actually taking them in class and I assume she was actually prescribed them and needed them to an extent, but she was always so spacey and slow. It was typical for her to take almost the entire period to take role call, because she was super slow and would go off into random rambling tangents, or random conversations with students...by the time she was done taking role there would only be 10 to 15 minutes of class left....and on the days she was really loaded she would just nod out or space out for long periods of time, or go into a really weird almost "out of her gourd" type headspace where it seemed like she was dreaming and not actually awake.
One day in particular while she was really "out of it" the entire class just walked out of class early (it was the last period of the day) and she didn't even notice.
She was an older dark skinned lady, had been teaching for a long time....My sisters had her a few years after me and said she was still a space cadet.

this story highlights exactly what's wrong with kids today. The media/video games/pop-culture have helped demonize anyone who does any type of drugs as a failure. and loser, when really this poor, financially- and occupationally-unfulfilled young woman is probably a damn-sight better an English teacher than these fucking snitches deserve. Have some compassion kids, shit, it's not the end of the world when someone does drugs. This woman's just trying to get through the day.

They might think they are being compassionate since they've probably been taught drug addicts need help to stop and need to be intervened on. As kids they may not realize how traumatic and bad for one's career/life it can be getting arrested for drugs. What else are they supposed to do? You can't expect them to know much about drugs when all they've been taught is by the schools. When I was 8 years old I literally believed doing one drug once could cause permanent brain damage.

If youre taking drugs as a teacher you at least have to be smart enough not to get caught by your own students

That was a really nice way of putting it, but they don't interrupt her self-harm, and don't cover-for her embarrassment. They spy and entrap and take the soapbox for themselves.
I've had a few, young, grandstanders, in my circle of acquaintances, over the years. It would not occur to me, whatsoever, to do anything questionable, around the little minders.

Hey maybe her students were that bad. She needs a speedball to go over the homework.
She looks really young. And she prolly is actually addicted, hiding in the classroom and doing this stuff. But i feel really bad for her actually. Youre dealing with a drug habit, working a job, dealing with these kids, and then suddenly youre on the front page of the shroomery and youre on the news. Damn.
I guess the "felony charges" are because of where she was rather than the amount, cause i doubt she brought a huge bag of speedballs with her to school
The other sad thing is that the kids felt the right thing to do was to go to the principal to ruin her career. Then "oh its heartbreaking, addiction".

Yeah this teacher would now be instantly fired
Coolest teachers ive ever had, or most of them, "did stuff when they were younger" :P
And one of these was a very prominent science teacher who openly said "you know Erowid? Everything youve ever heard of, i have experience with". Exact quote.
And he wasnt lying. This guy is also a fucking genius IMO, was a teacher i really looked up to. And i would love to pass a J with this teacher even now.
There are asshole/bitch addict teachers too, who by the way would never ever admit to any drug use and were not cool at all in comparison. And btw no one would ever go to the principal on my science teacher, even if he was doing coke in class. if it was an asshole teacher, different story.
