A Bartow High School teacher was arrested Friday on drug charges.

Polk County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the home of John Michael Garrison, 45, after detectives received a tip that Garrison had marijuana in his possession.

Detectives say Garrison admitted he “smoked a joint earlier.”

He was arrested on a charged of possession of marijuana under 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Garrison was released from jail on October 25, after posting a $500 bond.
