Connecticut High School Coach Arrested for Giving Alcohol to Minors
A girls' basketball and volleyball coach at a Connecticut high school was arrested for second-degree reckless endangerment and delivery of alcohol to a minor Thursday, according to a report in the Waterbury (Connecticut) Republican-American.
The newspaper said that Jennifer Jackson, 32, of Naugatuck, Connecticut, was arrested for providing alcohol to minors at a school dance in Watertown, Conn., on February 6.
She was arrested Thursday while at court, where she was being arraigned on previous charges that she "procured" alcohol prior to the dance for a minor in Southbury, Conn., where she is a math teacher and coach at Pomperaug High School.
The original charges were reckless endangerment and delivering alcohol to a minor. According to an arrest warrant obtained by the Republican-American, Jackson met with two players on a dead-end road and gave them two bottles of vodka after she overheard that the underage students were seeking alcohol for the dance.
One day later, however, she was also charged with allowing several minors to drink out of her coffee cup which contained vodka while at the dance, according to the warrant. The delivery of alcohol prior to the event and the act of providing it during the dance took place in two different towns -- leading to separate charges of varying degrees.
Here is a sworn, written statement to police, courtesy of the Republican-American, from the student/player for whom Jackson allegedly provided the alcohol prior to the dance
"I am a student at Pomperaug High School ... the day before the senior semi-formal, I was in the locker room after basketball practice with [name blurred out]. We were talking about going to the liquor store to get alcohol for the semi-formal. Mrs. Jackson, our coach, was in her office which is in the locker room. Mrs. Jackson offered to get it for us. She asked what we wanted and we said vodka. Mrs. Jackson went back to what she was doing. Myself and [named blurred] went to my house and hung out. Mrs. Jackson called me on my cell phone. Mrs. Jackson said do you want me to drop it off or do you want to meet me. I said we will meet you. I told her we would meet her in the cul-de-sac of Sunset Ridge Rd. ... I went there with [name blurred, who] was driving. We got there at about the same time. Mrs. Jackson got out of her car, came over ... gave us two bottles of Stoli vodka. We took the bottles and went back to my house."

Youth exposure to alcohol advertising in national magazines has fallen substantially since 2001. However, in 2004, youth were still overexposed to magazine advertising relative to adults. In 2004 youth ages 12 to 20 saw 15% more advertising for beer and 10% more advertising for distilled spirits (the largest category of magazine alcohol advertising) per capita than adults age 21 and over. In this context of general overexposure, African-American youth saw even more advertising for these products in magazines in 2004 than youth in general.
