Pennsylvania crossing guard arrested, charged with supplying middle school students with narcotics: PD

A school crossing guard in a Pennsylvania community was arrested for allegedly supplying middle school students with narcotics.

According to officials, Kiara Lee, 26, was taken into custody on Tuesday night and is accused of distributing electronic cigarettes and substances containing marijuana to students at Penn Wood Middle School.

Police told Fox 29 Philadelphia that a student reported that Lee provided students with vapes several times, and frequently smoked marijuana with another student.

The student's guardian also confirmed to Fox 29 that Lee had been giving her child vapes and marijuana edibles.

Text messages between Lee and the student also revealed their experiences after eating the edibles, according to authorities.

"School crossing guards epitomize the role of public servant. They are – quite literally – entrusted with the lives of our children and hold a position of sacred trust in communities across the Commonwealth and the country. For an individual to abuse that trust is deeply disturbing, and corrosive to the well-being of the entire community," Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said.

A parent of a student at Penn Wood Middle School told Fox 29 that the news of Lee was very troubling.

"It’s already bad enough as a parent, keeping them away from influences, but to hear that an employee of the borough would even sell to kids. It’s insane," Maya Bryant said. 

"It’s a shame to have these people on these corners to do their job, to protect children and now you’re telling me the kids are receiving drugs from them? It’s utterly disgusting," another parent, Malekka Dade, told Fox 29.

According to jail records, Lee has been charged with two counts of corruption of minors and two counts of possession of marijuana, among other charges.

She was unable to post her $20,000 bail, officials said.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for June 14.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons open to joining Mike Tomlin, Steelers if he ever left Dallas later in career: report

Aside from adding offensive lineman Tyler Guyton in the first round and drafting seven other players, the Dallas Cowboys front office has had what many have described as a quiet offseason.

However, the franchise's football personnel decision makers continue to work to determine whether the team can keep multiple key players on its roster in the long term. 

Three-time Pro Bowler Micah Parsons is widely considered one of the pillars of Dallas' defense. The 2021 first round draft pick could eventually command a historic salary if the Cowboys want to retain his services for the foreseeable future.

Parsons could be in line to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, a distinction Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson currently holds. Earlier this week, the wide receiver agreed to an historic deal with the Vikings worth $140 million with $110 million guaranteed, ESPN reported.

While there are currently no indications that Parsons is interested in switching jerseys anytime soon, it is possible the star pass rusher eventually lands elsewhere.

Parsons, who was born in Pennsylvania and played college football at Penn State, did concede that if he did end up leaving the Cowboys, he would be open to playing in his home state.

If Parsons "hypothetically did go home later in his career it would be to join the Pittsburgh Steelers," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

Parsons' consideration at least revolves around his respect for longtime Steelers coach Mike Tomlin

If Parsons did somehow make his way to Pittsburgh, he could end up playing alongside one-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and six-time Pro Bowler TJ Watt.

Elsewhere, Dak Prescott’s future with the Cowboys is up in the air beyond the 2024 season as he enters the final season on his contract with the team.

Prescott earned MVP votes last season after leading the NFL with 36 touchdown passes to go along with 4,516 passing yards. He’s gotten Dallas to the playoffs five times in eight seasons, but the Cowboys have not made it further than the divisional round.

Dallas also has to focus on re-signing CeeDee Lamb, who is in the final year of his contract. 

Parsons could be a free agent after the 2025 season. Parsons has 40.5 regular season sacks, and finished the 2023 campaign with a career-high 14 sacks.
