Jenny Hammock, 18, was expelled Feb. 11. A Gulf Shores police search of the school parking lot, using a drug dog, led to a white Toyota 4-Runner registered to Hammock's parents, the Mobile Register reported Tuesday. Hammock was never allowed to return to class, a decision approved by the Baldwin County school board and the superintendent, who followed a "zero-tolerance" policy for drugs. Hammock's family sued the school system. A hearing in U.S. District Court was set for 2 p.m. today. Hammock's lawyer, James May of Foley, filed the suit, which seeks damages for the teen's expulsion, among other claims. The suit claims Hammock has been humiliated and embarrassed by the incident. - --- MAP posted-by: Derek Rea
