WESTFIELD, New Jersey — A middle school art teacher is facing drug charges after he overdosed on fentanyl in his classroom and was found unconscious by his students, police say.
Police say officers were called to the school just after 9 a.m. by a school resource officer when Thompson was found “in distress” by students. A school nurse was giving Thompson medical help before officers arrived and gave him Narcan. Thompson was charged last week with possession of a controlled dangerous substance , possession of drug paraphernalia, and endangering welfare of children. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 1.
