Authorities said a former Texas science teacher has pleaded guilty to manufacturing methamphetamines in New Mexico.
Prosecutors said a judge has ordered 56-year-old John Gose to undergo a 60-day diagnostic evaluation before sentencing.
Gose pleaded guilty Monday to four meth-related charges in a Las Cruces courtroom. Las Cruces police arrested him last October after a traffic stop.
Officers reported finding an ice chest in Gose's car that contained glassware, rubber tubing and chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamines. Police later searched his property and found ingredients to make at least one pound of meth.
Authorities said Gose taught eighth-grade science at Camino Real Middle School from August 2013 through February 2016.
He previously taught science for 8½ years at Irvin High School in El Paso before resigning in December 2008.
