“I was shocked myself, to be honest with you,” says Sheriff Fred Shortridge.
Randy MacNutt’s wife, 47-year-old Sheri MacNutt, is a substitute teacher. She was subbing at the Montgomery County High School’s vocational school Thursday. The sheriff says they got information she was going to sell oxycodone near the school.
“The suspect picked the location so [the informant] went with it,” says Sheriff Shortridge.
The transaction allegedly happened on Sheri’s lunch break, just a stone’s throw from the high school at the Clay Community Center. Little did the substitute teacher know that her extracurricular activities were being monitored.
The Sheriff says after the informant bought the oxycodone, Sheri MacNutt was arrested, charged with trafficking a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school.
The Montgomery County Schools spokesperson tells us MacNutt had been a substitute teacher for a while, and the allegation she sold drugs so close to school property came as a shock.
Randy Macnutt also faces drug charges. The spokesperson for Montgomery County Schools told LEX18 every teacher and substitute undergoes a thorough background check before working for the school system.
