One of the highest profile stories in local news this year has been that of a Lockport teacher (and Gasport resident) who has been in trouble with the law for DWI. Here's a Buffalo News report on last night's happenings....
Suspended teacher in court for second of 3 DWI counts
ROYALTON — A suspended Roy B. Kelley Elementary School teacher appeared in Royalton Court on Thursday, facing the second of three charges of driving while intoxicated leveled against her in less than year. The case was adjourned to April 10.
Marcy L. Cole, 35, of Gasport, was arrested on Gasport Road in October, clocked by Niagara County sheriff’s deputies driving 90 mph in a 45-mph zone. She was charged with speeding, driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation. Her license had been revoked in November after being convicted April 18 of driving while intoxicated in the Town of Lockport.
While these charges were pending, her car was found in a ditch just before 4 p.m. Jan. 10 on Day Road in the Town of Lockport, and she was charged with felony driving while intoxicated, authorities said.
The charge came just a few days after Cole was suspended from her fourth-grade teaching position for the remainder of the school year by Lockport Superintendent Terry Ann Car-bone following several complaints by parents about allegedly inappropriate conduct.
