A lawyer representing a Cincinnati Public Schools teacher accused of permitting drug trafficking in her Deer Park home says the teacherwas wrongfully charged.

Laura Morand, 36, was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of permitting drug abuse, a felony, according to court documents. She's listed on the Evanston Academy's website as a math and social studies teacher.

Lawyer Scott Croswell said the charges stem from charges levied against Morand's adopted son, 19-year-old Paul McGee.

Croswell said their home was searched in early November. Court records show McGee was charged on Nov. 2 with 15 counts related to heroin and cocaine trafficking.

"I believe that she's a very nice person who was doing the right thing when this man lost his family," Croswell said. "There's no allegations that any drug transactions took place inside the home. She should not have been charged with any of this."
