[h=1]Texas teacher now fugitive after family's drug trafficking and murder charges[/h]

EL PASO, Texas — The U.S. Marshals Service is looking for a former Texas elementary school teacher whose sister and brothers were charged in a murder-for-hire plot linked to drug trafficking in Juárez.
Monica Velasco, 42, was indicted by a federal grand jury. She is wanted on federal charges of conspiracy linked to racketeering, drug trafficking, money laundering and conspiracy to kidnap in a foreign country.


Last fall, Velasco’s sister and two brothers were charged in connection to the 2008 murder of a man and his two daughters in Juárez. "She was an elementary school teacher, a quiet lady and I guess she got wrapped up in all this with her family," said Deputy Scott Williams of the Marshals Service. "She's afraid of going to jail, but her family said that she is more afraid of going to Juárez."


In January, the U.S. Marshal Service’s Lone Star Fugitive Task Force nearly captured Velasco at a home on Safford Court in El Paso’s Lower Valley, but she left before deputies arrived, a U.S. Marshals spokesman said.


Velasco was a teacher at Thomas Manor Elementary in the Lower Valley. In September, she abruptly quit her job and moved out of her home on the West Side, the Marshals Service said. That same month, Velasco's sister, Dalia Valencia, and her brothers, Emmanuel and Samuel Velasco Gurrola – allegedly part of the Velasco criminal enterprise – were accused of kidnappings for ransom, extortion, auto theft and drug trafficking. The three siblings pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to go to trial in September.

An elementary school teacher and drama club advisor was arrested for allegedly downloading child pornography, according to officials.

Thomas Guzzi, 36, of Pitman, was charged Friday with second-degree distribution of child pornography and third-degree possession of child pornography.

New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted the arrest at Guzzi's residence.

Federal authorities monitor file-sharing websites known for child pornography and traced multiple downloads to Guzzi, according to Peter Aseltine, spokesman for the Division of Criminal Justice.

Authorities seized two laptops, a mini-computer, a desktop computer, three iPads and two phones, as well as external hard drives, Aseltine said.

Indiana teacher arrested with meth in class


A Southern Indiana elementary teacher was arrested Thursday at school, and authorities said she had drugs with her at the time of her arrest.

Nowling has been an employee with the Scott County School District 1 for more than a decade, the district said Thursday.


Sgt. Jerry Goodin with the Indiana State Police said no students were present at the time of Nowling's arrest, and he said the school district cooperated with the investigation. He said authorities had earlier searched Nowling's home and had found drugs, including Oxycontin, Hydrocodone and marijuana. He said two people were arrested at Nowling's home: Harold Kemp, 42, and Zackie White, 31, whom Goodin described as friends or acquaintances of Nowling.


Goodin said police then went to Nowling's work after learning she was possibly in possession of a controlled substance. "We're hammering a lot of drug dealers and drug users in this county the last four or five months," Goodin said Thursday. He said Thursday's arrest was fairly routine.
