Teacher arrested after admitting to cocaine use in class.

Authorities claim an elementary school teacher in Wisconsin was detained after she admitted to taking cocaine on school property, specifically in the restroom.

 Laurie Laubenstein, a teacher at New London's Lincoln Elementary School, is being charged with possessing cocaine.

Because the alleged possession took place on a school campus, which is a protected area, prosecutors have added a modifier to the allegation, making it more serious. 

WBAY claims that an anonymous report that raised questions about Laubenstein's actions at work sparked the start of the probe. 

According to the tipster, a school resource officer had seen behavioral changes in her and noted that she frequently carried her purse into the restroom.

 Additionally, suspicious objects were discovered in toilet areas, such as bloody tissues and signs of a white powdery substance. After a quick check, police went to the school on February 12 and discovered cocaine in Laubenstein's coat pocket and pocketbook.

She then acknowledged that she began taking cocaine on a regular basis in August of last year. 

She also acknowledged using it in the restrooms of classrooms and teacher lounges during the school day, as well as before and after school. 

Laubenstein reportedly told police that she always cleaned up after herself and that she never intended to put pupils in risk. 

According to the report, the school system informed parents in a letter that they were aware of the investigation but that they did not think there was ever a risk to students or personnel.
