Barney Dale Harris, a Spanish teacher at Union Academy Charter School, was shot and killed when he robbed a stash house of drugs and money, according to police. He was with his brother-in-law, Steven Alexander Stewart Jr., who has been charged with first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and possession of a firearm by a felon. Johnson said Alonso Beltran Lara, 18, was also killed in the shootout; the sheriff described Lara as a drug runner.
So what role do drug cartels play in the network that distributes drugs across North Carolina?
Drugs from cartels in Mexico move across the borders into the U.S, ending up in the hands of what UNC Charlotte criminology associate professor Matt Phillips calls “a very loose affiliation of organizations that receive narcotics from those cartels and distribute throughout the United States.”
Union Academy Charter School
Union Academy Charter School held a special board meeting Thursday to explain how it’s handling security and background checks after a teacher died in a shootout that law officers say involved a stash-house robbery.
Tuesday evening, the K-12 charter school in Monroe held a memorial for Barney Harris, a highly regarded Spanish teacher, basketball and track coach who died last week.
The next day, school officials heard Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson say in a news conference that Harris had been shot multiple times while trying to rob a stash house associated with a Mexican drug cartel.
