South Lake Tahoe police have arrested couple who faces charges of selling marijuana at South Tahoe Middle School and South Tahoe High School.
William Anderson, 30, and his fiancé Makayla Hoehn, 25, were arrested Monday and are accused of furnishing marijuana to South Tahoe High School and South Tahoe Middle School students, said South Lake Tahoe Police Lt. Brian Williams. Both admitted to the crimes.
A school resource officer discovered information Monday morning regarding adults selling marijuana to local school children. He passed this information on to patrol officers, who followed up with an investigation. Officers learned local children were buying marijuana from someone named “Will," said Williams in a news release.
Further investigation revealed that “Will” was actually William Anderson on Marjorie Street. Officers secured a search warrant and served this at Anderson’s residence. Officers located Marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the residence.
Anderson admitted to selling marijuana to students. Hoehn also admitted knowledge of Anderson’s marijuana sales from their residence. Their two small children were removed from the residence and turned over to the custody of Child Protective Services due to unsafe living conditions in the residence. Anderson was arrested for selling marijuana to minors, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, maintaining drug house and child endangerment. Hoehn was arrested for maintaining a drug house and child endangerment.
Parents are urged to communicate with their children about these dangerous issues. Any information related to this case can be submitted to School Resource Officer Aaron Crawford or investigating Officers Jake Herminghaus and Officer Travis Cabral at the South Lake Tahoe Police Department.
