SAPULPA, Okla. (KTUL) — Sapulpa police say an elementary school teacher has been arrested for embezzlement and drug-related complaints.

Megan Sloan, a 27-year-old teacher at Holmes Park Elementary, was arrested May 1 after admitting to bringing drugs and drug paraphernalia to the school, according to court documents. Police say she also admitted to using “field trip money” to purchase gas and drugs for herself.

A teacher reported Sloan after she left her Facebook account open on the other teacher’s computer, according to police. The teacher reportedly saw a conversation in which Sloan talked about using and selling heroin and pawning school property.

When questioned, police say Sloan told them that she believed she had two “Xanax footballs” in her purse in her classroom. When they checked her purse, police found multiple syringes — some with exposed needles and one with heroin in it. Police also found .4 grams of methamphetamine in Sloan’s purse, according to documents.

Sloan later told police that she had pawned two school-owned iPads to a pawn shop in Broken Arrow. She also said she previously stole $125 in “field trip money” from her class, according to court documents.

Sloan faces four drug-related counts and one count of embezzlement.
