Old Lycoming Township, Lycoming County-

A Williamsport area elementary school teacher, along with her husband and son, were in court Wednesday - after police found a massive stash of marijuana on their property last week.

Beth and Randal Camp appeared before a district court judge in Old Lycoming Township.

State police found 72 pounds of pot last Friday at a house and barn the Camps own.

The Old Lycoming Township couple and their 33-year-old son, Jerry Fisher, all face drug charges.

Beth camp's lawyer, George Lepley, says the veteran teacher is not to blame.

Lepley explained, "It’s my understanding that the son and husband both gave statements regarding the drugs, and accepting responsibility for the drugs, and indicating that they were their drugs."

The Camps are expected to be back in court next week.
