A first-grade teacher at a school in Valparaiso, Ind., was pulled out of her classroom and arrested Thursday for being publicly drunk, police said.
According to a report in the Post-Tribune, Sharon Duerring, 49, was taken into police custody at about 10:30 a.m. after officials at Cooks Corners Elementary called police, suspecting her intoxication. Officials had removed Deurring from the classroom before police arrived.
Police said a Breathalyzer showed Deurring had a blood alcohol level of 0.20, which is more than twice the legal limit to drive a vehicle. She was charged with public intoxication and taken in handcuffs to the Porter County Jail, according to the report.
Deurring had been a teacher for 25 years.
