According to the arrest report, Adams went to the school’s clinic for a wellness check. Other teachers then saw her go to a classroom bathroom before leaving the school.
The school resource officer said he searched the bathroom and said he found a pill bottle with Adams’ name on it. The bottle contained a red straw, half of a green pill, and a small plastic baggie of green powder. A field test of the powder provided a positive result for MDMA (aka “Ecstasy” or “Molly”).
Adams was placed under arrest.
