Kimberly Quach, 48, was arrested on September 28 and booked on dozens of felony counts, including providing marijuana to a minor over the age of 14; employing a minor to sell or carry marijuana; selling or providing the drug Suboxone to a minor and selling or providing Xanax to a minor.
Suboxone is a controlled substance used to treat opioid addiction, while Xanax is a popular anti-anxiety medication.
Other charges against Quach include child abuse, theft by false impersonation and operating a drug den.
According to police, the incidents that landed Quach behind bars occurred between January 1 and the day of her arrest last month.
Quach has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her and remained jailed Friday at the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility in Santee on $200,000 bail.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for November 29. If convicted, she could face more than 60 years in prison.
Cathedral Catholic High School Principal Kevin Calkins sent an email to parents notifying them about Quach’s arrest on drug charges.
‘Officers working the case believe there are CCHS students who may be witnesses or who may have information that would assist their investigation,’ the letter read in part.
Court documents cited by the San Diego Union-Tribune state that Quach’s suspected drug-dealing activities went beyond her daughter’s school and also targeted high school students in La Jolla, California.
