Clark County school police say Simmons Elementary School office manager Joseph Rodriquez was arrested Thursday after a bag of methamphetamine was found in the office at the school in North Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Friday that Dondero Elementary School Principal LeRoy Espinosa was arrested later at a home he and Espinosa share in northwest Las Vegas.

Both men were booked at the Clark County jail pending court appearances on felony meth possession and misdemeanor marijuana and drug paraphernalia charges.
