A Maynard High School teacher's aide was arrested Monday on charges related to providing marijuana and alcohol to minors, Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone informed the public just after 8 p.m. on Monday.
Jennifer Olsen, 41, of Maynard, a teacher's aide at Maynard High School, was arrested Monday on a warrant by Maynard Police and charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana, distribution of marijuana, drug violation in a school zone (two counts), and procuring alcohol for a minor (four counts).
The defendant will be arraigned Tuesday in Concord District Court.
"These are very troubling allegations, where the defendant furnished illegal substances to youth in violation of law and the trust place in her by the town of Maynard," Leone said.
According to authorities, Olsen allegedly provided and consumed marijuana with four high school students on two occasions in October. It is alleged in one incident that Olsen picked up the students from a school building and drove to a secluded parking lot where she provided marijuana which they smoked in her vehicle while in the parking lot, according to a press release from the District Attorney's Office.
"In a separate incident, Olsen met the four students on school property and they again smoked marijuana that she provided while still on school property," according to the press release. "In addition, after one of the incidents, Olsen allegedly purchased alcohol, which she provided to the underage teens. It is also alleged that Olsen communicated with at least one teen through e-mail and social media where she is alleged to have discussed providing the student with illegal substances."
A warrant was issued and Olsen was arrest Tuesday in Maynard by Maynard Police.
The Maynard School Department terminated Olsen's employment on Monday, Nov. 5, after she failed to attend an administrative hearing with school officials.
The case is being investigated by the Maynard Police Department.
