No, she's not a teacher, but Angela Leavitt sure is acting like one. According to police, last week Leavitt and her 16-year-old male co-worker at Whataburger in Pace, Florida ran off together. Oh, and took her kids, 8 and 9, with them, which apparently didn't make her husband or the boy's parents very happy. This, after the kid's parents had to file a restraining order against the allegedly horny Leavitt who was reportedly caught not once, but twice, in her Dodge Durango in past months before the boy's parents filed a restraining order. Fortunately, Leavitt and the kids arrived safely back at the Pensacola airport on Tuesday and she was promptly arrested. At right, Angela Leavitt's mug shot picture.
Here's more from NW Florida Daily:
Leavitt has been wanted since last week, when lawmen said she quit her job at the Whataburger in Pace and ran off with her teenaged co-worker and lover. She also took her two children, 8-year-old Haley and 9-year-old Damien. On Tuesday, she told officers she was preparing to turn herself in at the jail.
Leavitt's husband, Greg Leavitt of Chuckwagon Lane, had been pleading publicly for her to come back to Florida for the children's sake and face authorities.
He told reporters last week that he gave her the children last Tuesday night not knowing that she'd take them and leave with the 16-year-old boy. He did say he knew something about the boy.
Investigators say a Crime Stoppers tip led them to Pensacola Regional Airport, where a connecting flight from Atlanta was said to be carrying Leavitt and the children.
The plane landed sometime before 1 p.m., after airport police were told to watch for Leavitt. When they spotted her at the baggage claim, her attorney was with her, said Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Haines.
Airport police made the initial arrest and took Leavitt to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office before her transfer to Santa Rosa.
The children have been released to Greg Leavitt's custody.
The 16-year-old, who hasn't been identified, came home Monday after calling investigators and taking a Greyhound bus from Texas to Pensacola. He was returned to his parents in good health, lawmen said.
Evidence in the case includes sex-related text messages between Leavitt and the teen. Based on the messages, they say Leavitt wanted to have the boy's baby.
Deputies said they found Leavitt and the boy together in her Dodge Durango twice in past months before the boy's parents filed a restraining order. Their petition claimed the relationship had been sexual for months.
Investigators believe the pair had sex at least three times before the Sheriff's Office issued Leavitt's arrest warrant.
She left town when she knew her arrest was imminent, Haines has said.
