Police arrested an assistant principal at Pinelands Regional High School in South Jersey after they say he purchased painkillers on school grounds.
Christopher Peters, 56, of Barnegat Township, is charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance on school property.
Supervising assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Michael Paulhus stated in a press release that Peters purchased Roxicet from a Little Egg Harbor Township man at Pinelands Regional High School Thursday.
Roxicet is a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone.
Police also arrested the other man, 31-year-old Mark Kilmurray, of Little Egg Harbor Township.
The school superintendent, citing confidentiality, declined to say whether Peters has been suspended.
Anyone with information relative to this investigation is asked to contact Patrolman Joel Mahr of the Little Egg Harbor Township Police Department at (609) 296-3666 extension 178.
