COP POSED AS STUDENT

May 7 – “They had no idea. No clue at all,” the undercover officer said.
But, four students at Wilmot High School now know all-too-well who the “new
kid” was who showed up in class last February.

To classmates she was “Jayne Donovan” but she was really a 21-year-old
undercover officer working for the Kenosha County Drug Unit. She still does
not want us to use her real name or show her picture.

The officer told us, “It was very easy to find out who was smoking
marijuana... Because they’d tell you... They’d make comment like I can’t
wait until school’s out so we can go get stoned.”

“Jayne” told us she would “act up” to get placed in “in-school suspension.”
There she met the targets of the investigation, over time developing
relationships, eventually passing notes asking the students if they could
get her some pot.

“And either they’d say yes or I know who does or I have it. And that’s how
we’d go back and forth until we decided how we were going to do it.”

In the end, “Jayne” said it wasn’t difficult turning on her pretend-peers
and seeing four of them led away in handcuffs because they didn’t really
know her at all.

“My name was a lie. The reason I was at the school was a lie. When they’d
ask me ‘where do you live?’.. That obviously was a lie.”

In the end, “Jayne” hopes the arrests will be a deterrent for others at
Wilmot High. “I’m sure they’ll be a lot more careful with what they’re doing.”

And she warned, “there’s a very good possibility another Jayne might come
back.”

Of the four students arrested Monday, one has been charged as an adult. The
three others will face juvenile charges.
