WASHINGTON -- An assistant superintendent with the Prince George's County, Md., School System is caught up in a drug and money-laundering ring.
Pamela Hoffler-Riddick was arrested after a two-year investigation. As a regional assistant superintendent for the school system, she was in charge of several schools.
Authorities said Hoffler-Riddick is a member of a drug ring that pumped five tons of marijuana as well as hundreds of pounds of crack and cocaine into cities from Texas to New York.
Hoffler-Riddick also worked as an associate superintendent for Montgomery County, Md., Schools, and in 1996, when the investigation began, she worked and taught in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Va.
"First of all, we're very disturbed by it," said Andre Hornsby, CEO of Prince George's County Schools. "Number one, because you care about the person and she has children. We care about all of those things. Secondly, you have to wait and let it run its course, and administratively, we've just placed her on leave pending the outcome of this external situation."
According to court documents, Hoffler-Riddick's role was money laundering. She allegedly deposited large sums of money into banks and credit unions.
