Kentucky custodian arrested for giving pills to child at school: Arrest warrant

FLOYD COUNTY, KY (WOWK) — A custodian for the Floyd County Board of Education has been placed on leave after allegedly giving drugs to a student on school property.

According to an arrest warrant, Josh Johnson, 39, of Grethel, gave a child at a school a package of earrings with eight “suboxone buprenorphine hydrochloride pills.”

Johnson is charged with third-degree drug trafficking, trafficking within 1,000 feet of a school and first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor involving an illegal controlled substance, according to a citation.

Johnson was arraigned on the charges Monday. Floyd District Judge Tyler Green set a $50,000 cash bond in the case.
