Quote:ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A former Albuquerque Public Schools substitute teacher is accused of giving a sex toy to a teen and smoking weed with students.

According to an APS police report, former Jimmy Carter Middle School sub Claude Carroll, 57, allegedly gave a sex toy to a 14-year-old student as a birthday present.

He also is accused of giving and smoking marijuana with two other students.

“Once they got in Mr. Carroll’s car, (he) packed a ‘bowl’ and passed the pipe to them in order to smoke weed with him,” the report says.

Carroll was put on unpaid leave in February with the district.

At the time, the district only said, “The allegations, that I’m aware of at this moment in time, are not violent in nature … and do not involve sexual assault.”

APS previously confirmed to the Journal that Carroll resigned effective March 2.

The district could not be reached for additional comment Wednesday from the Journal, including why he wasn’t fired.

The report also says an unidentified person police spoke with was “upset with school administration because they knew about Carroll’s inappropriate behavior and nothing was done about it.”
