A Charlotte Independent School District employee removed from campus last month amid accusations that she provided drugs to students has been charged with nine felony counts in connection to the case, police confirmed Friday.
Feleasha Pesqueda, 33, faces nine counts of delivery of a controlled substance - marijuana - to a child. Each charge is a second-degree felony, Charlotte Police Chief Rick Luna confirmed via telephone Friday.
Pesqueda was formally charged Thursday and then booked into the Atascosa County Jail after drug tests were done on seized items. A statement released by Charlotte ISD Interim Superintendent Roger Solis on the day of Pesqueda’s removal stated that her employment with the district had ended and that the district had reported her to law enforcement and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
District officials reported Pesqueda to the Texas Education Agency’s Director of Educator Investigations days after she was terminated, records show.
