I wonder how many times things like this have happened under the "zero tolerance" policies in school systems.
NOT GUILTY: Assistant Principal Pat Conroy of South Haven (Mich.) High
School suspected a student was dealing drugs. To ensure he was caught,
Conroy says he planted marijuana in the student's locker, knowing an
upcoming search by police dogs would find it and then he'd have cause
to expel the boy. But the dogs missed the contraband. When Conroy told
officers what he did, they raided his school office and found 10 small
bags of marijuana and "assorted pills," an investigative report said.
Conroy, 52, says he confiscated the drugs over several years from
students, but school policy -- and the law -- requires confiscated
drugs to be turned over to police. Conroy has resigned, and has pleaded
not guilty to misdemeanor drug possession. (St. Joseph Herald-
