Woman Allegedly Found Passed Out With Marin County Principal, Drugs Appears In Court

RANCHO CORDOVA (CBS13) — A woman police say they busted in the motel room with the leader of a high-end Bay Area school and a smorgasbord of illegal drugs in a Rancho Cordova motel room appeared in court on Tuesday.

Brittany Hall, 21, had already bailed out of jail, and was not happy to see CBS13's cameras. Her attorney is optimistic she will be cleared of all charges.

Hall was stone-faced and silent as she was quickly ushered out of a Sacramento County courtroom by her attorney.

Investigators say two weeks ago, Hall was found in the motel room with Dr. Thomas Woodrow Price. He was the principal of an elite, private school in Marin County where tuition is more than $30,000 a year.

His double life came to light allegedly when someone called 911, saying they were concerned about Hall's well-being in the motel room. Investigators say when they knocked on the door, Price answered, and Hall was passed out on the bed with meth, cocaine, heroin and painkillers throughout the room.

Hall and Price were charged with possession of narcotics for sale.

Price has also bailed out, but was not in court on Tuesday. He's expected to be back in court in late November.
