A Fresno, Calif., teacher was arrested after police said he smoked pot in the middle of his class, and allowed the kids to join in, according to a Local 6 News report.
"What he did he sent two students, apparently, to his personal vehicle to retrieve his marijuana and a smoking pipe," Fresno police spokesman Gregg Sanders said. "When the two students returned, Mr. Bochim and approximately 10 students smoked the marijuana in class."Police were called to the school after teachers and students smelled pot and a teacher discovered a text message on a student's cell phone sent from one of the kids smoking pot.
Bochin faces felony drug charges and misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors. Also, many of the students could be expelled.
Bochin is free on bail and is to appear in court March 23.
