ANTLERS, Okla. (AP) - A sixth-grade reading teacher, her forest
ranger husband and their college student son have been charged with
growing marijuana at their home east of Antlers.
Katherine Henslee, 52, John Henslee, 53, and Alan Henslee, 21,
all said they didn't know about the plants, according to court
papers.
An affidavit filed in court last week said drug task force
agents in a helicopter spotted marijuana plants growing along a
path leading to the Henslee residence near Oklahoma 3 and the
Kiamichi River bridge. The affidavit said the agents also found
five plants in pots near a shop building on the property.
John Henslee is a forest ranger with the state Agriculture

Henslee is a Southeastern Oklahoma State University student,
according to Katherine Henslee's page on the Antlers schools Web
site.
Katherine Henslee and Antlers school superintendent Mark Virden
declined to comment when they were reached by telephone Saturday.
