HONOLULU (AP) _ The Hawaii Department of Education has launched an investigation into the arrests of two public school teachers. Those teachers on Oahu were arrested for allegedly smoking marijuana before school off campus. Police say Lisa Luhrsen and Benjamin Ayson, who teach at Mililani Middle School, were observed under the influence of drugs. The arrests came after a witness reported to the school that something suspicious was going on in a car parked off campus. Both teachers were put on paid leave during the investigation.
