A former Virginia high school teacher who allegedly sold vape cartridges containing THC and nicotine to students is now facing multiple charges.
Kaitlyn Crescent was taken into custody by the Fairfax County Police Department early last week following the alleged incidents at Falls Church High School.
"On October 24, Child Protective Services received a referral that a teacher was selling vape cartridges to students at school. Detectives were notified and assumed the investigation," the department said in a statement.
"Detectives determined that between December 2023 and June 2024, Kaitlyn Cresent, 28, of Alexandria, sold vape cartridges containing nicotine and THC to four students," the statement added.
