Police arrested a man employed by Valley High School in Smithers after he allegedly sold drugs to undercover authorities.
Larry McCommack, 38, works as a teacher and football coach at the school, according to a news release from Fayette County Sheriff Mike Fridley. The Central West Virginia Drug Task Force reportedly supervised the controlled purchase of drugs from McCommack.
Authorities arrested McCommack on four counts of delivery of a controlled substance before he was arraigned in Fayette County Magistrate Court. He then posted $50,000 bail, according to a news release.
"None of these controlled drug purchases are alleged to have taken place in the area of the school," according to the release.
Fayette schools Superintendent Terry George said police arrested McCommack at the high school.
He said McCommack will no longer have contact with students.
"He's on administrative leave," George said.
