Authorities say she bought it from student

Teacher arrested on pot charges

The Bedford County teacher also was charged with contributing to the
delinquency of a minor.

A Liberty High School teacher was arrested Tuesday on charges that she
bought marijuana from a student there.

Suzanne Renee Hudson, 37, of Goode, was arrested on school grounds Tuesday
morning and was charged with three counts of contributing to the delinquency
of a minor and one count of marijuana possession, said Bedford County
Sheriff Mike Brown.

Brown would say very little about the charges because they involve a
juvenile and because the case is still under investigation. He would not
release the juvenile's age or sex.

No other charges have been made.

The sheriff said his office began investigating Hudson after getting tips
from informants.

Hudson has been suspended until the case is resolved in court, said Bedford
County school Superintendent John Kent. The School Board will decide at its
next meeting whether or not she will be paid during her suspension.

Kent refused to say what she taught, but a Liberty teacher who asked not to
be identified said she had taught home economics at the school for about two
years.

Hudson was released from the Bedford County Jail Tuesday on $2,500 bond.
