Jacksonville teacher accused of stealing Adderall from coworkerโs purse
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ A Jacksonville teacher accused of stealing another teacherโs prescription drugs will likely avoid jail time, Duval County court records show. Jones, whose arrest report lists her as a teacher at Duval Charter School at Southside, was arrested after a complaint was filed about Adderall pills that were stolen from another teacherโs purse. The victim told police the prescription bottle contained three pills when she left it in her purse behind her desk the morning of Feb. 19. After reviewing surveillance video recorded in the hallway, investigators determined that Jones was the only person to enter the teacherโs classroom while it was unattended, according to her arrest report. Court records show Jonesโ case has been referred to a pre-trial diversion program, which means she would not face jail time unless she violates the terms of the court-ordered program.
