• southwest Virginia kindergarten teacher is in trouble with the law
  

  Agent7 said in the Abingdon Forum:

  A Southwest Virginia kindergarten teacher is in trouble with the law. Washington County, Virginia sheriff's deputies raided an underage drinking party held late Friday at the house of a local kindergarten teacher. Forty-two-year-old Meadowview Elementary School teacher, Jennifer Lynn Cook is charged with three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Deputies say as many as 25 people were inside the home when deputies arrived. And just for the record. A teen I think the name was Daniel or something got a text.. Called the police and told them about it. Also the police had ever right to bust this and did nothing wrong.. So if this turns into a trashing talking topic. I will have it deleted as the editor for Abingdon/Washington county topix I ask you to keep it clean please. And don't say the mom didn't know there was 20 or so kids in her house drinking... Because you know she had to. And someone said someone got off the hook because of who they know.. well... who knows now days huh? But I think our officers did a great job at what there paid to do.
