Kevin Ball Really Tips the Scale

It's one thing to be a Milwaukee Public School Teacher accused of running a drug house. But using MPS property as equipment in its operation?

That's an outrage.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Police searching a suspected drug house belonging to a Custer High School science teacher found a large scale with apparent drug residue and marked with the Milwaukee Public Schools logo, according to a criminal complaint.

Officers searching the home of Kevin Ball in the 3500 block of N. 48th St. also found about 11.4 ounces of cocaine, 4.06 grams of marijuana, a bulletproof vest and a Chinese SKS semiautomatic rifle, according to the complaint.

Ball, 43, has been an MPS employee since 1991, and has been placed on paid suspension pending the outcome of the case against him, MPS spokesman Phil Harris said Friday.

Ball's employment status with the district will be reviewed once the case is concluded, Harris said.

Ball remained in the Milwaukee County Jail on Friday night under $25,000 bail.

He is charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine while armed, keeping a drug house and possession of marijuana.

According to the complaint issued Wednesday, police investigating reports of large amounts of illegal drugs, drug sales and firearms at Ball's home followed him when he left the residence in his van just after 1 p.m. Dec. 28.

After pulling over the van, police found a loaded magazine for a .380 caliber pistol on Ball, who consented to a search of his home. He told officers that he had a .380 caliber pistol and a small amount of marijuana inside the residence, but also said items in a basement closet did not belong to him.

The evidence against Ball is so damning.

Isn't it great that Ball is still being supported by taxpayers during his suspension?

Good grief.
