Somerset Borough Police Department say they responded to a report Wednesday that an employee of ABC Review Preschool on the 700 block of Cannell Drive had drug paraphernalia on the premises.

Officers say the employee was 36-year-old Shannon Marie Berkebile who was assigned to care for 10 children at the time.

Berkebile was contacted by police who say they found her in possession of 12 “stamp bags” of heroin along with empty packaging and straws.

According to police, Berkebile confessed that the drugs and paraphernalia were hers, she had last used heroin earlier that day, and was under the influence while at work caring for children.

The criminal docket says Berkebile is facing several charges including 10 felony counts of Endangering Welfare of Children and is currently being held in Somerset County Prison on $25,000 bail.
