Laurens County, SC -- Authorities said an assistant high school principal and his wife, who is a middle school teacher, are accused of throwing a keg party where students paid $5 to drink.
Prosecutor Jerry Peace said Thursday that John and Mary Clark turned themselves in to police and were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
John Clark, 54, is an assistant principal at Newberry High School. Mary Clark, 52, teaches at Newberry Middle School.
Both were booked at the Newberry County jail and released after they posted bond.
Peace said that the charges stem from a summer party the Clarks threw for their son at their lake house in 2006.
Newberry County School District Superintendent Bennie Bennett said the Clarks are on paid administrative leave. They are both charged with contributing to the deliquency of minors.
Peace said he didn't know how many students attended the party or their ages.
He said beer was served from kegs, and students said they also drank some type of spiked punch.
Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster said, "It would be wrong for anybody to do it -- but for somebody that knows the rules and has to make children abide by the law in school and behave by the law -- to allow that to go on -- they're held to a higher standard and they should have known better."
