MOORE TEACHER ARRESTED, FACES COCAINE CHARGE

NORMAN -- A Moore teacher was released from the Cleveland County jail
Tuesday after posting bond on charges of possessing crack cocaine and drug
paraphernalia, and public intoxication.

Norman police said Tamey Lynn Hancock, 39, of Norman was arrested about
12:15 a.m. after a security guard at Huxtlers, 1282 N Interstate Drive,
called police to report a woman acting suspiciously and possibly high on
drugs, Lt. Paul Swenson said.

''The officer contacted her up there, and she was really hyperactive and
could not hold a conversation. After several tests, she was arrested for
public intoxication,'' he said.

Swenson said cocaine, tweezers, a lighter, a butane torch, steel wool and
pipes were found in Hancock's coat.

She was released from jail on a $6,200 bond.

Moore schools spokeswoman Susan Pierce said Hancock is a second-grade
teacher at Kingsgate Elementary.

Hancock has been a district employee since 1982.
