Anthony Jason Marsiglia, 29, a teacher at Dutton Elementary School, and another man waived their rights to a preliminary hearing in 63rd District Court, sending the cases against them to Kent County Circuit Court.Marsiglia, of Grand Rapids, was placed on administrative leave by the school district after his arraignment for the four-year felony, which stems from an Aug. 17 arrest at the Ada Township home of co-defendant Kevin Wright, 29.Kent County deputies responding to a loud music complaint said they spotted cocaine and drug paraphernalia on a table in the residence.
Neither man has a prior conviction. Both remain free on $10,000 bonds.Assistant Prosecutor Michelle Smith-Lowe told District Judge Sara Smolenski that she has discussed the possibility of pleading guilty with attorneys representing Marsiglia and Wright.In exchange for the pleas, Smith-Lowe said she would not object to either defendant being considered by a circuit judge for Section 7411 of the Controlled Substance Act, which would defer further litigation in lieu of probation.Charges would be dismissed if probation is not violated, Smith-Lowe said
