Hill allegedly indicated to police that she purchased drugs five times from a man in Lawrence she only knew as "Rock" and that she would "stock up" by bringing three small baggies of cocaine to school, but would provide the drug to other students without free of charge.

According to court documents, the charges stem back to December when Westford Academy officials were told that a 14-year-old male had ingested cocaine.

They tracked down the student and found that it had been a joke, although Hill overheard the incident and allegedly offered the young boy a small baggie of cocaine for free.
