Houston Teacher Arrested in Major Drug Trafficking Bust

Jessica Ferguson, a third-grade teacher, is among 20 individuals apprehended in a federal operation targeting the 'Rich Kingz' gang.

Ferguson was caught making drug deals over the phone during class, with children audible in the background.
The teacher has been placed on administrative leave by Sheldon Independent School District.
The operation involved over 300 officers and resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of firearms and drugs.
The 'Rich Kingz' gang is linked to drug trafficking and violent crimes, including several unsolved murders.
Federal officials hope the arrests will help solve other cases and reduce violent crime in Houston.
