COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — An elementary school teacher in South Carolina has surrendered on accusations of having marijuana edibles in a student prize box in her classroom. The 27-year-old female teacher from Lexington, South Carolina, turned herself in Friday and was being held on a drug possession charge. Authorities say another teacher at an after school program notified alerted authorities Sept. 23 after a student who had grabbed a pack of “Stoney Patch Kids” gummies as a prize asked for help opening it.
