HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — An assistant principal at Goose Creek CISD is facing a third-degree felony charge after she dropped cocaine in a school bathroom, court records say.
Jessica Sanchez, an assistant principal at Travis Elementary School in Baytown, is charged with possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.
Harris County Assistant District Attorney Hector Garza said a straw with cocaine was found in an employee bathroom Wednesday, which led to a sweep. Sanchez's car was searched and officers found about .9 grams of cocaine.
Garza said Sanchez admitted to officers that she had done cocaine before school Wednesday morning.
In a statement to parents, Goose Creek CISD said:
"We are cooperating fully with the criminal investigation and will move forward swiftly to end the staff member's employment with the District."
If convicted, Sanchez could face up to 2 to 10 years in jail.
