Smyrna, TENNESEE

Mar 29, 2007 - Adlai "Jay" Gill, technical education teacher at Stewarts Creek Middle School, was arrested and charged with simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia March 18.

He was arrested in July 1995 when Gill and his wife assaulted each other and both were arrested. In October 1996, he was charged with driving under the influence, a charge that was later reduced to reckless driving. The latest arrest was after his wife called police, concerned that he would leave her home intoxicated.

As I approached the vehicle, I observed Mr. Adlai Gill sitting in the driver's seat with a lit marijuana cigarette in his right hand. He was using a pair of yellow needle nose pliers as a roach clip,"

Manning wrote. "I could smell a strong odor of what I believed to be alcohol as well as marijuana smoke coming from his person and vehicle."
Gill is on paid medical leave until April 16.

His brother is Harry Gill, Jr, the Rutherford County Director of Schools.

August 11 - The Daily News Journal (Murfreesboro) reports that Gill recieved a diversion that include $1,064 in fines, two months of drug screening and an 11-month 29-day suspended in a story about his returning to school in the fall.
