"It is alleged that not only did Mr. Westerhoff betray the trust placed in him by school officials, students and parents, his actions also denied students of their necessary prescription medication," said DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin.
He was taken into custody from the school without incident on Tuesday.
Bond was set at $75,000 for Westerhoff.
