Police: Former Wootton Teacher Sold Drugs To Students From Home

The> Gazette reports today that a former Thomas Wootton High School English Teacher, Theresa Cunningham Duarte, was charged on Monday with selling cocaine to students from her Brice Avenue home. Duarte had been a teacher at Wootton from July 2004 until the end of last school year, when she resigned.

She was charged Monday with two counts of “distribution of a controlled dangerous substance” and two counts of “contributing to conditions of a child,” according to the Gazette.

Police say they believe more students may have been involved than just the ones Duarte was charged for selling to. A spokesperson said it was unlikely the students would be arrested.

Anyone with more information is asked to call Montgomery County Police Department’s Family Crimes Detective K. Carvajal at 240-773-5400.
