This isn’t the wisest parenting decision, especially for lawyers. Two married attorneys planted drugs in the car of their PTA president at their son’s school. Because that’s the way mature professionals handle difficult situations.
The Easters were upset with PTA president Kelli Peters for locking their then first grader son out of an after-school tennis program for 19 minutes in 2010. According to Peters, he was locked out because he took too long to line up with the other kids.
After that incident, Jill Easter filed a restraining order against Peters, claiming she was harassing her son, but the case was dismissed, and the restraining order was denied.
The Easters were still upset about the incident, so they allegedly concocted a plan. Kent Easter planted a bag of marijuana, a pipe, and prescription pills in Kelli Peter’s unlocked car at her home. Police say he was on the phone with his wife Jill the whole time. The next day he called the police, saying he saw a car driving erratically near the school, police arrived at the school and saw the drugs in plain view in Peters’ backseat. She denied having the drugs, but they arrested her and held her for two hours before decided that she was in a classroom at the time of the car. They also searched her house and found nothing relating to drug use in her home, so they began to investigate a plant.
The call was traced to a hotel near where Kent Easter worked, and the whole thing was recorded by the hotel surveillance cameras.
According to msnbc “Both are charged with one felony count of conspiracy to procure false arrest and charging, false imprisonment, and conspiracy to report a false crime.”
