Marijuana charges filed against teacher for growing plant


A Pushmataha County middle school teacher, her forest ranger husband and her son have been charged with felony marijuana cultivation.

Court papers indicate that law enforcement officials spotted a marijuana field from a helicopter on July 20 near the home of Katherine Henslee, 52, east of Antlers.

Officers on the ground found the plants on a path that led to the Henslee residence and found five more marijuana plants in pots near a shop building on the property.

Authorities found Henslee, her husband John Henslee, 53, and son Alan Henslee, 21, inside the home. An affidavit says all three denied knowing about the plants.

A school Web site says Katherine Henslee is a 6th grade reading teacher at Obuch Middle School in Antlers. John Henslee is a state forest ranger.
