Police find cocaine, fentanyl in backpack of Florida teacher who was filmed doing drugs at school

Chris Toukonen apparently has a drug problem.

He's also a teacher at Lely High School in Naples, Florida.

Toukonen, 44, has a shiny new set of felony drug charges to add to his résumé, along with possession of narcotic paraphernalia.

According to reports, administrators got wind of suspected drug use while Toukonen was alone in the classroom. They then searched his backpack, found cocaine and fentanyl, and called the Collier County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies showed up, investigated, and hauled him off to jail. No other drugs were found in his classroom or his vehicle on campus.

Look at those pinpoint pupils!— Cindy LHK (@DannyCampsalot) May 8, 2026

In news that isn't all that surprising, Toukonen had previously been the head coach of another Collier County high school football team, where he was suspended five games in 2021 for his conduct toward the refs. I'm guessing he was the kind of coach who would give you that pregame pep talk while breaking tables and crushing cans on his head.

Welp, Mr. Toukonen is in jail now. Hopefully withdrawal doesn't hit him too hard.

Well, I could have more sympathy for him needing drugs if he taught in middle school, but by high school he shouldn’t need the hard drugs.

An old ditty from our school days.

To the tune of “Frere Jacques”:

Marijuana, Marijuana
LSD, LSD
Scientists make it
Teachers take it
Why can’t we? Why can’t we?

“Chris Toukonen apparently has a drug problem.” Teacher was hot for teacher.

That reference will mean nothing to the youngsters... They won’t know about “the shelter,” either. :-)

I was in love with a girl on cocaine
She had everything going but a brain
We’d talk endlessly for hours
But by morning it’d go sour
I was in love with a girl on cocaine

He hated performing it live, but everybody requested for him to play it, so he did.

Chris Toukonen says he doesn’t do drugs he was just testing them.

Judge agrees
