Associated Press reports a middle school principal in Tampa, Florida, bought crack cocaine from an undercover officer at the school while it was in session:
"It's a very disturbing case," Tampa Police Information Officer Laura McElroy said. "The officer expressed concern about doing the deal when school was in progress and [Giancola] said he could guarantee no students would be around and that was where he felt safe and secure." Additional officers posed as parents in the school lobby while the deal took place. McElroy said they made sure no students were nearby. Giancola, who lives in St. Petersburg, was charged with possession of cocaine and soliciting to purchase cocaine on school property, a felony that carries a minimum sentence of three years in prison, McElroy said.
