Unalaska, AK – The special education teacher at the high school is charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor. Forty-two year old Pamela Drawver began teaching at the school in the fall.
The investigation into the incident began when PCR Director Jeff Hawley reported to police that two teens said Drawver provided alcohol to a 17-year-old female. Police investigations revealed that a 15-year-old girl went with the 17-year-old on December 12 to Drawver's house. The younger girl saw the 17-year-old give money to Drawver and ask her to purchase alcohol for them. The girl said they discussed keeping the purchase quite, since the 17-year-old did not want to be kicked off the basketball team and Drawver did not want to be fired. The two girls then joined a 15-year-old boy in the car. The two younger individuals were dropped off at a party at the boy's house. The older girl came by 30 minutes later with vodka and beer.
On December 31, Drawver was charged with one class A misdemeanor offense, furnishing alcohol to a minor. She posted $1,000 in bail and is awaiting a court hearing. She is prohibited from interacting with minors, other than relatives, outside of school hours. Drawver is also charged with allowing her son to drive without a license on a separate occasion.
School superintendent John Conwell said they are investigating the case internally and will take appropriate action once the investigation is complete.
