GREAT FALLS - A Roosevelt Elementary School teacher and her husband are accused of stealing thousands of dollars and prescription drugs from the Great Falls school.

Rori and Mark Brubaker appeared Thursday in District Court on charges of burglary, theft, possession of dangerous drugs, possession with intent to distribute and criminal endangerment.

Prosecutors say the couple stole between $1,500 and $2,000 from the school's carnival funds sometime between Oct. 23 and Nov. 3 of last year.

Court records say Rori Brubaker told police her husband stole Adderall tablets from an office file cabinet and gave them to their 7-year-old daughter. The pills, which were prescribed to a student, are commonly used to treat attention deficit disorder.

The records also say Rori Brubaker said her husband stole money from a soda machine, as well as teachers' books, software, games, teaching aids and other items. The couple are accused of trying to sell the items online.
