A Montgomery County elementary school teacher accused of selling fentanyl pills to a man who later overdosed was indicted Thursday and remains locked up after a recent overdose herself, according to court filings.
“It is objectively dangerous to our community to be engaged in this sort of activity,” prosecutor Kimberly Cissel said at a recent hearing for the teacher, Sarah Magid, 34.
The indictment tracks with earlier charges filed in the case by police in August. Magid faces counts of distribution of fentanyl and other charges.
Magid, who had taught first grade at Dr. Charles Drew Elementary School in Silver Spring, has been placed on leave. The indictment Thursday moves the case from district court to circuit court.
No trial date has been set. But in recent hearings, her attorneys have signaled what their defense will be: Magid shared pills only to support her habit, was devastated by the man’s death, and needs treatment not incarceration, according to her attorney, David Moyse.
Unsurprisingly, MCPS is remaining silent on what it did or didn't know about her activities, even though investigators confirmed she left the classroom to drug deal, which means she had the drugs on her while she was in school.
