When Teachers Give Sell Their Students Drugs

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True

abbott.jpg

A teacher from Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton, CA, has just been arrested.

The reason?

Turns out the professor is locked up on narcotics and weapon charges!!!!

According to police sergeant Mike MacDonald, several anonymous 911 calls were received about the shady teacher.

One caller stated that he "had purchased drugs from a person he believed to be a teacher at Sunny Hills."

Sgt. MacDonald added that the "caller also said the person, who he identified as Abbott, had a weapon in his vehicle."

The teacher in question is 31 year-old Gregory Abbott, who has taught history at Sunny Hills for the past seven years. He is also the school's track coach.

Sgt. MacDonald stated that the Police Department's High School Resource Officer then contacted Abbott in his classroom and got permission to search his vehicle.

And shockingly enough, the search turned up some prescription drugs, some marijuana packaged for sale, and an unload shotgun.

Idiot!

Abbott posted his $25,000 bail.

Let's hope they keep him away from the children.

Something needs to be done about better screening teachers!!!

    Doing drugs, no matter your profession, is completely different than SELLING THEM TO KIDS.

    I actually went to Sunny Hills, and I certainly hope Coach Abbott's bad decision doesn't reflect badly on the school because it is an excellent high school with great academic pedigree. Besides, I knew Coach Abbott (he was my summer school econ teacher and my best friend's track coach) and he's the nicest man ever. He was actually a great teacher who liked teaching. And it's true- he's had some terrible things happen to him recently, what with his wife leaving him after cheating on him with another coach on the staff, etc. I actually feel terrible for his kids- they were some of the cutest kids and he would tell us stories about them all the time!

    Oh, and as a side note, Coach Abbott is INSANELY HOT if you can't really tell from that horrible mugshot. He has the biggest, most gorgeous blue eyes in the world too!

    Geez *rolleyes* way to do a background check before you hire someone to teach kids! It's pathetic what schools in America have come to.

    That's all well and good to screen the teachers better, Perez, but the worry should be actually getting the teachers and paying the good ones enough to stay around…

    218

    sheesh everyone does weed. it should not even be illegal anymore.
    but then again…if he sold it to his students, that's a different story. i actually went to sunny hills. i don't think it's necessarily a druggie school, not as much as the average high school is by far, i think.

    i hope mr abbott was framed. this is really saddening.

    230

    UGH! Perez, you are obviously ignorant! Teachers now have to be fingerprinted and their info (including driver's license and Soc. Security #)goes into a database. I'm a teacher in TX and everyone on my staff was fingerprinted a few months ago. It was MANDATORY. I'm totally supportive of that. But while we're at it, let's do the same for ANYONE who works with children - daycare workers, youth pastors, etc. And what about holding the school districts accountable when they hire people who already have criminal records?!?! That still happens! Jeez, even 7-Eleven does a thorough background check before hiring someone. I would even be willing to piss in a cup to make people like you shut the hell up. Just remember that random drug testing would cost taxpayers more money. Are you gonna bitch and moan about that too?
    There's so many hardworking dedicated teachers out there. All it takes is one incident like this, and suddenly we're ALL treated with suspicion.

    his bail is probably more than his annual salary. when teachers are paid so poorly, can you truly chastise them so very much for resorting to … er, extracurricular modes to supplement their unlivable stipend?

    Well, if the governmet focused on paying our teachers and proffessers more than $40K a year then tehy wouldn't have to sell drugs to pay for the increased cost of living.

  55. BeFair says – reply to this


    255

    I think this story is bullshit! The guy was an idiot for keeping that stuff in his car, but a little bit of weed doesn't prove he was selling it, and it definitely doesn't prove he was selling it to kids, or even had it around kids.

    I think he was set up. And now because he pissed off some kid with an F he has his face plastered all over the media like he's a pedafile. He smokes a little weed. F#$K our president has done worse.

  56. SSSS says – reply to this


    256

    They should pay teachers more and then they wouldn't resort to this. As a teacher myself, sometimes I think dealing drugs is more appealing…

    Perhaps if the school districts paid teachers what they are worth, some of them wouldn't have to supplement their incomes. With the budget cuts, you can bet the first thing to be cut will be teachers' salaries.

    In cases like this, I don't think there's anything more they really can do except listen to what the students have to say and then investigate. I mean, the students interact with the teachers more than the administration does.

    whoever wrote this article is a damn douche bag.
    im a senior at shhs and this article is shit and so is this pic.
    i would know he was my teacher and a damn good one.

    you make him out to look like some molester teacher.
    HE WOULD NEVER EVER sell to kids. EVER.
    the packaging with consistent with sales.
    it's not confirmed.

    everyone makes mistakes. don't lose sight that this is a man's life here that obviously is not going to get better anytime soon. he has been in a huge mess with his marriage in the past year and has two kids. two kids that are old enough to know what's going on. and what if they were to read shit like this? you should be ashamed. it's enough. honestly. this is ridiculous.

    and calling him an idiot just makes you look that much more ignorant.

    Perez,teachers ARE well screened! Anyone who works with children from afterschool care, camp counselor,custodian, to teacher, needs to clear an intense government screening that includes fingerprinting. Sorry Perez, usually I'm with you,but not on this one.Teachers do everythibg nowadays, including parenting. We are losing our jobs by the thousands in California thanks to our governor.We buy our own supplies.We buy the students' supplies.Ever heard of a doctor buying his or her own scalpel? THIS specific teacher sounds terrible-but it has little to do with our profession or screening. What teachers need is better pay and more respect.Would you ever write about that?

    I went to sunny hills many years ago…this isn't the first time a teacher has done something or something bad has happened. A lesbian PE teacher shot her lover in the 90's (no joke), a bunch of kids killed another kid from foothill high school and put him in a 9 inch grave in the backyard (known as the Stuart Tay murder…look it up), in 98/97 a group of kids were killed in a car reck on the way to homecoming…and there is a well known teacher that married a former student after she graduated.

  86. seaeye says – reply to this


    286

    lets see … was a student at sunny hills. shocked to hear this b/c he was everything nice. told my mom who works for the fullerton school district. AND SHE SAID … "I HEARD SOMETHING THAT THIS MAY BE A SET UP FROM HIS EXWIFE." and i let out a sigh and said … THAT MAKES TOTAL sense. to clarify .. a few years ago .. coach abbot's wife cheated on him with co-coach wellen. she's a slutty bitch who threw away a good man. also … if u read the news reports, it said that ABBOT CONSENTED TO HAVE HIS CAR SEARCHED. which probly means the police didnt have a warrent which means abbot couldv said "no u cant search my car" which means he probly didnt know there was a gun and drugs in his car.

    for now … i beleive he's innocent..
    he's a teacher .. he's not that stupid

  87. ddd says – reply to this


    287

    went to sunny hills. trust me, this guy wont harm his students. way too nice. heard something about maybe his ex is mixed up somehow in this. that bitch prob framed him. back wen i was in school, she had an affair with his coworker, wellen (they were both coaches of the SHHS bball team) .. damn slut

  88. dldi says – reply to this


    288

    lol .. this article is totally wrong. guess twisted to make the story more interesting. abbot was my teacher back wen i went to shhs. bottom line - HE'S INNOCENT. he's shady bitch exwife probably set him up.

    Re: F-YOU – Sunny Hills has a zero-tolerance policy for weapons and all that shenanigans (especially after the Stuart Tay murder in 1992 that also inspired the 2002 film Better Luck Tomorrow)–you'd get expelled if an administrator sees you with even a clear, neon orange squirt gun.

    And as a side note, he looks a lot better in this mugshot than he does in the yearbook; in the latter he looks kinda… high.
