So you’d think Thomas Doss, Jr. would have thought twice about falling asleep in his car while it was parked in his employer’s lot in the wee hours of the morning — especially when he had marijuana in the car.

Sheriffs’ deputies in Loudoun County, VA, found Doss sleeping in a parked car in the lot of Rolling Ridge Elementary School at 1:30 a.m. Doss is a teacher at two other schools in the same district.

The deputies noticed marijuana in the car and charged Doss with misdemeanor possession.

The local school system has placed Doss on administrative leave.
