Man Set-Up By Ex-Wife and Her Male "Friend"

FULLERTON (BBB) Gregory Abbott, a 31-year old high school history teacher was jailed this week when police, acting on an anonymous tip, found a shotgun and marijuana in his car in the school parking lot at Sunny Hills High School in Fullerton. It has now been determined he was actually the victim of a setup a la Marion Barry. Police now want to talk to Mr. Abbott's estranged wife and her male "friend. " The nightmare started when Mr. Abbott was yanked out of his class last Tuesday by cops who said they wanted to search his car after cops received an anonymous tip. Innocent Mr. Abbott was cooperative and let the cops search his car. They found a shotgun and a small amount of drugs. He was arrested and taken to the Fullerton City Jail, and posted $25,000 bail. He said the gun and drugs were not his, and a follow-up investigation revealed his innocence. Police now say they are investigating who framed Gregory Abbott. He said to reporters,"Nothing even close to this has ever happened to me," he said. "I come from a good family with a good background. To have the police come tell me that there's a shotgun in my car . . . I can hardly believe it even now."
