Police suspect a cafeteria manager at a Jefferson County high school of serving up marijuana to her daughter's teenage friends and other children, said a spokeswoman for the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.
Police arrested 51-year-old Michelle Whitmire of Golden on Thursday after an officer visited her home at about 9:30 p.m. to arrest a different individual and noticed a smell of marijuana in the house, according to the arrest affidavit.
The affidavit states that the officer questioned three teenagers in the home, who said that the smell came from Whitmire's room and that she had a medical marijuana license. The affidavit says that one teen told the officer that she "gives it to all the kids." The teen gave the officer names of high-school, middle-school and elementary-school children to whom the teen said Whitmire supplied marijuana, according to the affidavit.
Whitmire is employed by the Jefferson County School District as the cafeteria manager at Jefferson High School. She has worked for the district since 2006. District officials say that she has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Whitmireposted a $10,000 bond the same day she was arrested and faces charges of distribution of marijuana and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, said news release from Jefferson County District Attorney's Office Spokeswoman Pam Russell.
Whitmire is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 24.
