Teacher/Sheriff’s Deputy, 42, Suspended While Being Investigated for Improper Relationship With 17-Year-Old - Brattleboro Union High School

UPDATE: We Have a Picture! The question is: now that you've seen what Capt. Heidi Nelson looks like, does it make a difference in your opinion about what happened?

EARLIER POST: Now things are getting REALLY interesting. Not only are the female teachers having sex with underage boys, now some of them are cops and likely wearing guns! Add to that the possibility of doing it in the police car with sirens on and you have the makings of a great porn film. That is, unless it really happened, which is what the Vermont State Police are investigating in a case involving Windham County’s top sheriff’s deputy, Heidi Nelson, 42, who also teaches law enforcement classes and serves as Brattleboro Union High School's resource officer. Or at least she did until someone accused her of getting a little to close to a 17-year-old. No mug shot or picture yet, but drop us an email at dumbassdaily@yahoo.com if you find one! Here's more from the Burlington Free Press:

“I think it’s vital to ensure that the student, the student’s family, the career center, the members of the department, the public and Captain Nelson can trust that I am doing everything possible to protect everyone concerned as these investigations move forward, the facts are determined and the truth of the situation becomes known,” Clark said during a Monday news conference.

Clark was joined at the news conference by Brattleboro School Superintendent Ron Stahley, and David Coughlin, the acting director of the Windham Regional Career Center, which is based at the high school.

Efforts to reach Nelson on Tuesday were unsuccessful.

Neither Clark nor Stahley would say much about the alleged relationship, whether it was a consensual, whether it was with a male or female student or how it came to the attention of authorities.

Nelson, of Westminster, was a 17-year veteran of the Vermont State Police before she left to run a private gym in Bellows Falls. She was first hired by the sheriff’s department by former Sheriff Sheila Prue. When Clark became sheriff last year he promoted Nelson to be his second in command.
