Sharon Roszell
Sheriff Phil Summers said Sharon Roszell, 27, turned herself in Friday after warrants for her arrest were issued that stem from a search for drugs at her home.
Roszell was not present at the time of the search, but four pounds of marijuana were found at the residence, Summers said. Her husband was also taken into custody, he said.
Both face charges involving prescription pain killers, the sheriff said.
The Catoosa school system on Tuesday issued a written statement: “A Catoosa County school teacher has been placed on administrative leave due to charges filed by the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Department. Since the incident did not occur on school property or during school hours, the school system is waiting for additional information from the Sheriff’s De-partment to conduct a full investigation. The teacher will not be in any Catoosa County School until the investigation is concluded and appropriate action is determined.”
According to school officials, Roszell taught in the computer lab at Tiger Creek Elementary in Ringgold. She has been employed by the school system since Aug. 1, 2006. She was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 19.
Roszell’s home search was part of a countywide roundup by the Lookout Mountain Drug Task Force.

Uncle Sam can make more if it is illegal. If something is illegal, it gives the product an artificial scarcity. Therefore, the U.S. government can charge more for a substance that is illegal rather than one that isn't. The "War on Drugs" is really a war on the drug dealers that are competing with the CIA and DEA. About once a month, a CIA single-engine plane crashes with tons on coke on it, nothing is ever said. This is all documented, but no one cares. They're too busy watching UFC or Desperate Housewives. The corrupt will always win in our society simply because they have an agenda, and they actually work to accomplish goals.

Good luck you guys, I was busted for the same thing just not that much and mine were still growing. Soon if were lucky this stupid government will realize that you can make tons of money selling and taxing it so we don't have to worry anymore. And maybe we can do away with the debt our country is in. My probation officer said the same thing to me haha. Who says cops aren't corrupt.....
