UPDATED: Bennett Phys Ed Teacher Sentenced to Jail
UPDATED – 09/19/20 – Elizabeth Day, wife of Salisbury Mayor Jake Day, has been sentenced for a drug violation. Court records show that Day was sentenced in Wicomico District Court Friday to 10 days in jail. She entered an Alford Plea, which means that a defendant maintains their innocence, but admits that the prosecution could likely prove the charge. Day was charged with possession of CDS – not marijuana and contributing to the conditions of a child – the second charge was dropped due to the plea agreement. She was arrested after attempting to solicit a 16 year old student to purchase two ADHD pills last December. Day was a physical education teacher at James M. Bennett High School at the time of her arrest.
