Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
A Warsaw Community High School employee was arrested Tuesday for allegedly dealing drugs. The arrest came after a three-month investigation by the Warsaw Police Department.
Marilyn Louise Stuckwisch, 40, of 2602 William Drive, Winona Lake, was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail at 12:09 p.m. Tuesday on charges of dealing a controlled substance, a Class B felony. Her bond was set at $10,000.
Stuckwisch, a study hall assistant at WCHS, allegedly received narcotic painkillers from a 17-year-old male student between December and February. The Warsaw Police Department forwarded information to the Kosciusko County Prosecutor's office to recommend the charges last week.
According to the WPD, Stuckwisch reportedly had conversations with the student and asked to purchase Vicodin, a schedule II controlled substance, while she was employed at the high school.
After paying the student $180 in December, Stuckwisch allegedly received narcotic painkillers including morphine sulfate, Clonazepan, Oxycodone, Sonata and Fentanyl Feb. 28. She was detained by police after the exchange.
The actual exchange of the drug happened off school grounds, but discussions about the purchase started during Stuckwisch's school relationship with the student.
