A former Forsyth County teacher is accused of doing drugs with a friend in a Kroger parking lot, according to police.

Alisen Nicole Mooney, 27, was with a friend inside a car parked at the Jesse Jewell Parkway store on March 22 when an off-duty Hall County deputy saw the two with drugs, a spokeswoman for the Hall Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies searched the car and found oxycodone pills, buprenorphine pills, half of a tizanidine pill, four tramadol pills, two rolled up dollar bills and an empty package of Suboxon, a drug used to treat opioid dependence, according to police.

Mooney was charged with possession of amphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of oxycodone and drug-related objects, and two counts of possession of controlled substances. Her friend, Robert Tyler McClain, 27, was charged with possession of amphetamine and possession of drug objects, according to police.

Mooney, who worked as a chorus teacher at North Forysth Middle School, posted $8,800 bond the day after her arrest and was released from jail, police said. She later resigned, citing personal reasons, a spokeswoman for the school system told the Forsyth News.
