An Elementary School Teacher Left a 4-Year-Old Alone So She Could Buy Marijuana, Police Say
(DAVENPORT,
Fla.) — Authorities say a Florida elementary school teacher left a
4-year-old child alone while she went to buy marijuana.
A
Polk County Sheriff’s Office news release says 26-year old Marsha Dolce
was arrested Saturday and charged with child neglect and marijuana
possession.
Deputies
responded to a Davenport apartment complex Saturday morning and found a
4-year-old child crying outside wearing only a T-shirt and underwear.
Dolce, who teaches fourth grade at Laurel Elementary in Poinciana,
eventually returned home and told deputies she had left to help a friend
with car troubles.
Deputies
reported finding marijuana in Dolce’s home, and text messages on her
phone indicated that she had gone to nearby Winter Haven hours earlier
to buy the drug.
Child welfare officials removed the child from Dolce’s home.
Jail records didn’t list an attorney for Dolce.
