Upon retrieving the purse, Dobson noticed a small baggie with the white powder in it as well as a straw cut to a few inches in length sticking out of another pocket, the report said. Dobson notified school principal Lee Oliver and gave the purse to assistant principal Kimberly Marks, who locked it in a cabinet as authorities were called.
Eucker, who has no criminal history and has been employed with the Clay school system for about a year, is also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Cocaine possession is a felony.
