IOWA COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRESIDENT CHARGED
JOHNSTON, Iowa - Police who searched the home of a community-college
president say they found harvested marijuana, seedlings in starter trays
and pot smoke in the air.
Officers on Wednesday seized marijuana worth about $20,000 from the home of
David England, Polk County Sheriff's Lt. Vic Munoz said.
The Des Moines Area Community College president is charged with
drug-related conspiracy and possession of drug paraphernalia. His wife,
Donna, 49, and their children - Jessica, 22, and a 16-year-old son - also
face charges and surrendered Thursday.
England declined to comment yesterday.
The college appointed an acting president yesterday. England, who earns
$183,750 annually and receives a $1,500 monthly housing allowance, is
required by contract to be on paid leave unless he is fired.
