In 2018, his salary was around $76,949, according to court records, almost 30 percent more than his peers. But one former student recalled that the 54-year-old âkind of blended into the background at schoolâlike he was involved in the school but not too much as to call too much attention to himself.â Terrence M. Connors, a lawyer for the teacher, said Masecchia had âa great rapport with his studentsâ and was once an âexceptional college football player.â So when Masecchia was arrested in August 2019 on federal drug chargesâafter authorities raided his two-story Williamsville home to find a large cache of guns, several homemade explosives, and drugsâthe school community was stunned. Masecchia was accused of growing and selling marijuana for more than 20 years. Â
