A former Central Catholic High School guidance counselor is out of jail and has waived a preliminary hearing on heroin-related charges.

Last week, Kelly Scherer, 36, waived a preliminary hearing on charges of conspiracy; two counts of intent to possess a controlled substance; and four counts of manufacture, delivery or possession of a controlled substance before District Justice Thomas Caulfield.

Forest Hills police are accusing Scherer of dealing heroin and selling it to an undercover police officer from her Sumner Avenue apartment.

According to a criminal complaint filed by the Forest Hills Police Department, Scherer was being investigated back in 2011. A neighbor tipped off police, saying he suspected Scherer was dealing drugs from her apartment.
