Police said Amanda Humphreys, 22, an employee at Arlington Kindergarten, was not the subject of the police investigation, but was present an Atlantic Boulevard home on March 22 when an undercover officer arranged to buy an ounce of powder cocaine for $900.

At one point in that transaction, the alleged seller, Jovan Roberson, pulled a gun.
