Krista Eve Morton, 45, of Wellington, principal of Mavericks High of Palm Springs, was arrested Wednesday after police got a call reporting suspected sexual activity in a parked car. North Palm Beach Police arrived at the parking lot to find a half-naked Morton and an 18-year-old male student in the back seat of her car. While questioning the pair, it become apparent that sexual activity in a public place wasn't the only law being broken in Morton's back seat; they also noticed a strong odor of marijuana.
A subsequent search of the vehicle resulted in the finding of a yellow plastic bag that held a container with less than 20 grams of marijuana, as well as a lighter and rolling papers. Only after Morton and the 18-year-old were placed under arrest did police find out that Morton was the principal of the school the young man attended. The police report says Morton — who told police she picked up the youth because she was lonely — was discovered in the back seat of the vehicle "her shirt unbuttoned exposing her shoulders and part of her chest." Morton was released from the Palm Beach County Jail on bail while the student was being held on $1,000 bail. The school said it suspended Morton pending the outcome of the investigation
