Say What? Teacher at School for the Deaf Accused of Having Sex With Boy, 15 - Julie Denno, American School for the Deaf

Now that's what some people might call a "hands on" education.
Up until recently, Julie Denno, 27, was a teacher at the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford, CT. That is, until the adminstration found evidence that she was engaging in a relationship that included "inappropriate physical contact" and sexually charged text messages with a 15-year-old boy over a period of several months. Of course, that lead to her dismissal and then the cops got involved. At right, the only photo of Julie Denno we could find. Yeah, we know it sucks. If you find a better one, let us know.
Here's more from the Bristol Press:

A former teacher at the American School for the Deaf in West Hartford was charged Friday morning with sexually assaulting a student in the woman's former North Pond Street home, police said.
Denno was arrested on a warrant and turned herself into authorities Friday morning, where she was initially held on $75,000 bail. Judge Bernard D. Gaffney lowered that amount to $5,000 later in the day.
Police said the assault happened over a two-month period in Denno's former home.
They were made aware of her behavior in February, when the boy's mother contacted police about Denno's alleged conduct, which took place between December 2007 and January 2008.
It also wasn't clear Friday how long Denno was employed at the school or what her daily responsibilities were, but an administrator there said Denno was suspended without pay and subsequently fired months ago as the investigation unfolded.
"When we became aware of the situation, we cooperated fully with authorities, and the teacher was suspended without pay and ultimately fired in a very timely fashion," said Marilyn Rettig, the school's director of institutional advancement.
Police spokesman Lt. Edward Spyros said officials have no indication that Denno engaged in similar behavior with other juveniles.

Teacher Accused of Assaulting 10-Year-Old Girl by Putting Bucket on Her Head?

Teachers are caught doing a lot of strange things these days to student, many of which have nothing to do with sleeping with them. Take, for example, the case of Ann Lavery, a fifth grade teacher at Richford Elementary school in Vermont. She, apparently, had a misbehaving student in her class so she did what most teachers would do: she put a plastic bucket on the students head, and then hit the top of it. Yes, I thought it was kind of strange myself, but then again I don't have my teaching certificate. Here's more from Fox 44:

Vermont State Police said a mother told them Ann Lavery injured her daughter twice. Lavery a Fifth grade teacher, is accused of grabbing a 10 year old girl by the back of the neck and hurting her. The girl's mother told police it happened because the girl was in an area of the school where she was not supposed to be.
Lavery is also said to have put a plastic bucket on the same students head, and then hit the top of it. The girl reportedly was injured and her glasses damaged. Lavery, 54 has been a teacher for 32 years. Police say there have been other complaints made about Lavery.
"She has had prior complaints, and she was dealt with through the school on that and we are also looking into one other complaint that we have on her," said Sgt. Roger Langevin of the Vermont State Police.

Man Fined for Driving Drunk on Motorized Cooler

Have you seen one of these things? Looks like a regular cooler, except for the massive wheels, engine and steering wheel. Not sure how much booze they actually hold, but apparently it was enough to get this guy wasted. Here's more from Fox 44:

A North Country man has been fined almost $400 for driving a motorized cooler while drunk. Leslie Marr of Whitehall pleaded guilty this week to driving while ability impaired, a non-criminal violation. Marr was arrested in May for being drunk while driving a "Cruzin Cooler," which has handlebars and a seat on top for the operator. Marr was arrested after police saw him swerving while riding the cooler on a sidewalk. He was fined $300 and directed to pay an $80 surcharge.

Third Grade Teacher Arrested for Sex With Underage Boy - Alyson Perri-Jarvis, Southern Oaks Elementary School

Wow, gotta love that mug shot, don't you? The picture at right is of Alyson Perri-Jarvis, a third grade teacher at Southern Oaks Elementary School in Florida, who is accused of having a sexual relationship with a teen aged boy, starting when he was 15. The good news? According to the school district, Perri-Jarvis will NOT--we repeat NOT--be paid while she is in jail. Relieved, aren't you? The name of the now 18-year-old victim has not been revealed, but we do hear from sources that he is having his vision checked. Here's more from TBO.com:

Detectives say Jarvis, a third-grade teacher at Southern Oaks Elementary School, met the teen through neighborhood and family connections in 2005, when he was 15 years old. The teen, now 18, and Jarvis started a sexual relationship in July 2006 until August of this year, detectives said.
The teen, whose name was not released by authorities, told detectives about the relationship between him and Jarvis on Friday, the sheriff's office said. Jarvis is not being paid while she is in jail, Pinellas County School District spokeswoman Andrea Zahn said. If Jarvis posts bail, she will be placed on paid leave while the district conducts its own investigation, Zahn said.

Female Teacher, 41, Accused of Having Sex With Two Students at Home and School - Ranee Sue Proper

This week's female teacher banging (allegedly) underage students at her school comes to us from little Holly, Michigan, just up the road a ways from Detroit and not too far away from the Dumbass Daily corporate offices. At right, the only picture we could find of Ranee Sue Proper, 41, who used to be the vocal music teacher at Holly High School . . . that is, until she was arrested this week on five counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly having sex with two students both in her home and at the school. Here's more from the Flint Journal:

After months of whispers in this small town about a teacher allegedly having sex with students in the high school, a former Holly High School vocal music teacher was arraigned Tuesday on felony sex charges.
A police investigation began after a parent brought the allegations to police in May. Proper, a teacher in the Holly School District for four years, resigned June 25.
"The theatre and music kids, a lot of them will be devastated by this," said drama teacher Joe Mishler, who worked with Proper. "The last part of the school year was tough on the kids. She was someone they trusted and believed in."

Drunk Woman Drives Through Fence at Tampa Airport, Ends Up on Runway

That must have been one hell of a party! How drunk do you have to be to not only drive TO the airport, but through a six foot tall fence and then onto the airport runaway. So much for the power of Homeland Security! Here's more from Tampa Bay Online:

Kathy Lee Wilcox of 6810 Maple Lane, Tampa, drove her 2000 Hyundai through a 6-foot fence at the entrance to Vandenberg Airport this afternoon, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
According to a statement from the sheriff's office: Witnesses said she drove up to the airport's closed gate on Eureka Springs Road, stopped her car and then drove through the fence, which is marked "No Trespassing." The fence also has a large stop sign posted near it.
Wilcox then drove onto the runway. Airport authorities boxed her vehicle in on the runway and called the sheriff's office. Sheriff's office aviation and canine units are housed at Vandenberg Airport. Deputies arrested Wilcox, charging her with driving under the influence involving property damage.

Teacher Caught Moonlighting as Prostitute, School District Still Deciding What to Do!

That sounds pretty shocking until you find out this happened in New Zealand where prostitution has been legal since 2003, so this mother in her 30s with two children, was only working as a hooker to, uh, supplement her income, according to the district which will have to decide what happens next. Here's more from Stuff:

An Auckland primary school teacher moonlighting as a prostitute will have to wait for a decision on her future employment by her school's board of trustees. The new teacher, a mother in her 30s with two children, has been working as a prostitute to supplement her income, the Herald on Sunday reported.
The newspaper, which did not name the teacher or her school, said a parent told the teacher's principal, who was balancing a possible negative reaction from parents with the woman's right to work in a job that has been legal in New Zealand since 2003.
It has been referred to the school's board of trustees, which will meet in committee to debate whether to ignore the issue, discipline the teacher or ask the Teachers' Council to decide. The woman reportedly told the principal that her action in her own time was not his concern, and that it was not affecting her ability as a teacher.
Teachers Council director Peter Lind said the most important factor was whether the teacher's second job was affecting her teaching duties, "and there would have to be actual evidence".

12-Year-Old Accused of Selling Pot at School to Classmates

Who says kids these days don't have any ambition? How many of you--at the age of 12--decided to go into business for yourself and try and sell a high demand product in a competitive marketplace? Not many, I would argue, which is why some people are impressed with a pre-teen at Churchill Junior High School in Galesburg, IL who was arrested this week for trying to sell marijuana to his classmates on school grounds. here's more from WQAD:

"Because of the age of the student we can't discuss what things will occur but we take a strong stance against any drugs or alcohol at school" said Principal Bart Arthur. Galesburg police say another student told teachers the 12-year-old had marijuana on him.
When taken to the principals office, the boy emptied his pockets, leaving teachers shocked to find four separate bags of pot and a lighter.
"We are very proud we had students willing to go forward and tell the teacher this was going on. At many schools kids are afraid to tell," Principal Arthur said. Principal Bart Arthur says the school takes extra steps to keep students drug free, conducting drug searches and providing anti-drug assemblies.
However, Arthur also understands this latest finding will leave some parents and grandparents feeling uneasy. "I don't like it. Think I'd go to jail myself when I'd go over and knock out of their hand and get rid of all of it" said Ron Graves whose granddaughter goes to Churchill school. The 12-year-old has now been charged with delivery and possession of four grams of marijuana.

Female Teacher Accused of Sending Naked Pictures of Herself & Having Sex With Boy, 13 - Stephanie Diane Harris, Marble City Schools

Who needs Playboy Magazine when you have good-looking teachers sending you naked pictures of themselves? No wonder readership is down!
In our latest "Female Teacher Sex Scandal" of 2008, Stephanie Diane Harris, who taught at Marble City Schools, has been arrested for having sexual relations with a minor, but also several text messages of nude photos of herself. What kind of pictures? According to one source, the pics consisted of Harris’ vaginal area, her nude breasts, and one of her breasts while wearing a bra or bathing suit top. Sounds like quite a collection for such a young lad?
A relieved school district attorney (as they do in most of these cases) was quick to boast that the alleged sexual encounters DID NOT take place on school grounds and happened during the month of June during the normal summer break. So, uh, don't sue us, please. At right, a picture of Stephanie Diane Harris.
Here's more from KFSM:

A former teacher at Marble City Schools has surrendered herself to the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department after a warrant was issued on allegations of her having sexual relations with a minor.
Stephanie Harris, 27, allegedly had intercourse with a 13-year-old student. A court affidavit says after that incident, Harris sent the victim several text messages of nude photos of herself. Harris now faces four felony charges including first degree rape.

Mom, 33, Steals Daughter's Identity to Become High School Cheerleader - Wendy Brown, Ashwaubenon High School - Green Bay

Yikes! There might be a few younger looking gals out there who, at 33, might be able to convince someone they were college students or maybe a senior in high school, but this woman? How blind are the people at Ashwaubenon High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin? You're looking at one Wendy Brown, 33, who allegedly stole the identity of her own 15-year-old daughter, who actually lives in Nevada with Brown's mother. The senior Ms. Brown not only managed to get enrolled in school, she also made it on the cheerleading squad. Here's more from New York Daily News:

"The defendant stated she wanted to get her high school degree and be a cheerleader because she had no childhood and was trying to regain a part of her life she missed," according to the complaint.
She allegedly attended cheerleading practices before school started, received a cheerleader's locker and went to a pool party at the cheerleading coach's house.
A high school employee, Kim Demeny, told authorities that the woman, posing at the teen, seemed very timid, told her she was not good in math and even cried when she talked about moving from Pahrump Valley High School in Pahrump, Nev. Although she looked older than a student, Demeny said she believed her demeanor was consistent with that of a high school girl.
Assistant Principal Dirk Ribbins later learned Brown's daughter was enrolled at Pahrump Valley High School. Ribbins also spoke with Brown's mother who told him she had custody of the girl. She also said Brown has a history of identity theft crimes, the complaint said.
The complaint also said the $134.50 check Brown gave to the cheerleading coach for her uniform bounced. If convicted, she could face up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Female Teacher, 45, Accused of Having Sex With Boy, 17 - Wendie Estrada Fernandez, Corona Ranch Elementary

Married for 24 years.
Mother of 4.
A 45-year-old elementary school teacher.
And now, also accused of having sex with a 17-year-old high school boy. We don't have a picture yet, but Wendie Estrada Fernandez was, until recently a teacher in the Corona-Norco Unified School District. That is, until police arrested her on suspicion of having sex with a minor, specifically that Fernandez had unlawful sexual intercourse and oral sex with a 17-year-old high school boy. Here's more from the Press Enterprise:

Fernandez, a fifth-grade teacher at Corona Ranch Elementary School and mother of four children, was released after posting $25,000 bail, police said. She knew the boy through someone in her family, said Jerry Pawluczenko, a sergeant with the Corona Police Department. A biography obtained from clicking on her TeacherWeb page said Fernandez and her husband of 24 years have three boys and a girl.

Fernandez was placed on "indefinite administrative leave" Tuesday and replaced with a "highly qualified" substitute teacher, said Tom Pike, the district's assistant superintendent for executive services. Fernandez's year-round class started the second week in July.

Popular Teacher Arrested for Sex With Underage Girl Same Day He Appeared on Local TV Station - Jose Bernardo Fanjul, West High

The fortunes of teacher Jose Bernardo Fanjul, 45, at West High School in Utah rose and fell quickly this week. On Tuesday morning he was interviewed by KSL-TV in Salt Lake City on his lesson plan to commemorate the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. Later that day though, police showed up at the school to arrest him for allegedly having sex with a female student from March to July of this year, sometimes actually at the school! To add insult to injury, Fanjul is also an award-winning teacher and was named as the American Star of Teaching from Utah. Which makes all of this even more bizarre. Here's more on the story from KSL:

Police arrested Jose Bernardo Fanjul, 45, at West High after school Tuesday. None of the students even knew he had been arrested. The news came as a shock because Fanjul is one of the most well-liked teachers there.

Student Joel Organasta said, "He's very popular. All the people I know, know him." But police say Fanjul crossed the line with one student. Jail documents say he engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl between March and July of this year. She told police they had numerous sexual encounters after hours at West High and at other places. Police say they're working with her and her father.

Fanjul has also appeared on Eyewitness News, once in 2006 to warn Utah Latinos about a scam targeting their community; then again just Monday, on Eyewitness News at 6:30. Fanjul highlighted his lesson plan on the September 11th terrorist attacks. Fanjul said, "I teach it in the context that this is something that's happening in the world nowadays, and this is how we deal with it."

Organasta says Fanjul showed part of the Talking Point segment in their class Tuesday morning. He had no idea that by the end of the school day, his teacher would make the news again, for this. "Everybody knows him, and he doesn't look like someone that would do that," Organasta said. Fanjul was arrested on multiple counts of forcible sexual abuse and forcible sodomy. The school district says he is on paid administrative leave.

Man Caught Looking at Porn, Masturbating at Public Library

At the Madison County Library in Rexburg, Idaho they have a simple rule about public use of their Internet computers: If you look up pornographic material, you're banned from computers for a year. If you're caught doing it again, you are banned permanently. Unfortunately, the MCL policy doesn't say anything about looking at porn AND masturbating. My guess is that will also earn you the lifetime ban, but those in charge will likely need to ammend the policy after this latest incident. Here's more from KIDK:

It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon at the Madison Library when workers noticed something wasn't right. "Two of the staff saw what was going on and immediately called the police," said library director Judy Dewey.
Sitting in the corner, at a computer, was 33-year-old Daniel Young looking at pornographic websites and masturbating. The library has a strict policy against pornography. Every computer has filters and when patrons log on, they agree to stay away from sexually explicit material.
"The other part of the policy is to not disable any software or change any settings on the computer," said Dewey. That's most likely how Young accessed the porn - by disabling the filters. It's something other people have done too. "We do encounter them like every other community. This isn't the first one at the library," said Rexburg Police Capt. Randy Lewis. Young was removed from the library, cited, and released. He won't be returning any time soon because he's been banned from ever coming back.

Teacher Lisa Temsey Admits to Sending Topless Pic to Boy, 14, Gets Probation - East Canton Middle School

Former middle school teacher Lisa Temsey admitted in court yesterday that yes, indeed, she did send a topless photo of herself to a 14-year-old boy who used to be a student of hers, but then moved out of town. Her punishment? 5 years PROBATION! Now tell me: if she had been a he and sent a 14-year-old GIRL a picture of his penis, do you think we'd be talking probation or would we be talking pitchforks, tar and feathering? Exactly my point. Look, I realize that they can't lock the door and throw away the key on every teacher who does something like this (although it might improve the SAT scores in the slammer) but how bad does this double standard have to get before someone does something about it. We don't have a mug shot of Lisa Temsey, although we understand from sources that she is an attractive young blond. If you find a picture of here, drop us a line at Tips2 at DumbassDaily.com. (Thanks to long time reader Artie Bigley for the link!)
Here's, more on the story from the Canton Repository:

A former East Canton Middle School teacher narrowly dodged a prison term Monday for sending a topless picture of herself to a 14-year-old boy. "You are a hair's breadth away from going to the institution," Judge Richard Reinbold told one-time educator Lisa Temsey during her sentencing hearing.

Temsey pleaded guilty last month to one felony charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, a fifth-degree felony. Temsey was teaching gifted students at East Canton Middle School last May when she was corresponding with a student via her MySpace page, said Katie Chawla, assistant Stark County prosecutor.

The boy, 14, was a former student who had moved out of state. The discussion "changed from professional to a personal one, and she sent him a naked picture of her breasts," Chawla said. The exchange came to light when she started talking to two of the boy's friends, Chawla said. Investigators found a copy of the naked picture on the boy's computer, Chawla said.

Cops Find Weed, Sex Toys, Women's Clothes in Car of School Superintendent - Christopher Gregory, Washtucna School District

You know, if you're going to get pulled over in your car by the cops and the least of your problems is a pipe and a bag of weed in the back seat . . . you've got some bigger problems. And that bigger problem would be a bag that contained a mixture of sex toys, condoms, creams, leather whips, female clothing, . . . and a shock collar? That seems to be the case for Christopher Gregory, who used to be the Superintendent for the Washtucna School District. We say "used to be" because, since this report came out, Gregory has resigned his post. Here's more on this bizarre story from KXLT:

Gregory, 60, was arrested on August 23rd after a traffic stop on Lovell Valley Road near Plummer, Idaho. Deputies reported that Gregory's SUV was swerving into the westbound lane while heading eastbound on Lovell Valley Road.
During the stop the deputy noticed Gregory was nervous and being very methodical in his answers to the deputy's questions, particularly in pausing for several moments after being asked if he had any drugs in his vehicle.
Gregory then admitted that he was the superintendent for the Washtucna School District and had some marijuana and a pipe that he had confiscated from a student's locker in his SUV. He then showed deputies a large leather bag in the back of his SUV that contained a Ziploc bag filled with marijuana and a pipe that had marijuana inside of it.
Deputies handcuffed Gregory then and placed him in the back of a patrol car before continuing a more detailed search of his SUV, where they found "leather whips, female clothing, assorted sex toys, condoms, creams and a shock collar" inside the bag they found the marijuana in. En route to the Benewah County Jail Gregory told deputies that in addition to being a school superintendent he was also a former Marine.

Drunk Teacher Arrested After Grenade Launcher Found in Basement - Benjamin Terril, Buchtel High School

The worse thing my high school science teacher ever did was give me a C on a project that really was probably deserved an F. Actually, that was probably a good thing, now that I think about it, but either way it's much better than what we learned about Benjamin Terril, a science teacher at Buchtel High School. Cops found a lot of interesting things when they raided his home, including drugs, guns and--for some reason--a grenade launcher. Likely he was saving up for the Nerf grenades that go with it. Here's more from NewsNet5:

Benjamin Terril, a science teacher at Buchtel High School, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, weapons under disability, possession of dangerous ordnance, drug paraphernalia and drug abuse marijuana. Police went to Terril's home on Iona Avenue at about 7:30 p.m. after getting a call about a suspicious person with a gun.
When officers arrived on scene, they found the 50-year-old with a 9 mm semi-automatic loaded handgun in his pants pocket.
Police said he was heavily intoxicated. During a consent search of his house, officers found at least 26 guns, including machine guns and a grenade launcher. The police report said there was an AR-15 with magazines that hold more than 31 bullets, a Ruger .22 handgun with silencer, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, unknown powders and a lockpick kit. The guns were found in the basement along with a stash of food. Lt. Rick Edwards termed Terril a "survivalist."

Hong Kong Reporter Loses Job After Being Arrested Masturbating on City Bus

Well, look at it this way: at least it wasn't a SCHOOL bus he was on at the time, right? Here's more on the story from AFP:

A Hong Kong television reporter who quit his job after he was arrested for masturbating naked on a bus said he was only trying to "ease his stress", reports said Friday. Chiu Yu-kit, a former journalist at Asia Television (ATV), admitted in court to the act while he was alone on the top tier of a double-decker bus on July 31, The Standard and other newspapers reported.

An off-duty officer made the arrest after he jogged past the bus and saw Chiu standing on a seat naked and facing a window, the court was told. Chiu, 31, pleaded guilty to one count of indecency in public, but added that he committed the offence only to release his stress.

Female Teacher, Out on Bond for Sex With Boy, Caught Letting Same 15-Year-Old Unlicensed Lover Drive Her SUV - Jeannie Michelle Hodges

If it's Thursday, it must be time for another female teacher sex scandal. And if this sounds like a repeat, well, it sorta is. Remember Stephanie Ragusa? She's the Florida teacher arrested four different times over a period of a few months for having sex with underage boys . . . sometimes the same underage boy twice! Well, now we have another lady teacher who can't stay away from the young boys: Jeannie Michelle Hodges.
Hodges, who taught at Hobbton Middle School in North Carolina, was arrested back in July on charges of statutory rape, sexual offense with a student and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She bonded out on the charges and stayed out of trouble until this weekend when police set up a driver's license check point. They stopped a Ford Explorer with a young male driver at the wheel. Not only did he not have a license, the adult female in the passenger seat (Hint: it was Ms. Hodges) claimed she didn't have one either and had left it at home. They pulled her out of the car and--surprise!--found not only her license, but also a bail bond business card, which lead cops to discover that the passenger had been arrested for having sex with the same young male that she was now illegally letting drive her car! At right, Jeannie Michelle Hodges original mug shot . . . or is that her second one?
Here's more form the Sampson Independent:

When the Ford Explorer approached the checkpoint, police officers stopped it and asked the teenage driver for his driver’s license. He replied that he did not have one. Officers then asked the boy’s age, to which he answered 15, before asking if passenger Hodges had her license. Hodges told officers that she had a license, but not with her, reports state.
Both were asked to exit the Explorer and officers received consent to search it. A search was conducted of both the vehicle and Hodges’ purse. Inside the purse, officers found Hodges’ driver’s license as well as a business card for a local bail bonding service, according to reports.
When officers questioned Hodges about the card, she stated that she recently bonded out of jail on charges of statutory rape. Officers asked if it was the 15-year-old driver, to which she replied yes, authorities said.
Sheriff’s investigators have said that Hodges engaged in an affair with the 15 year old during the end of the 2007-08 school year, throughout which the juvenile was a student of hers. The student stayed overnight at Hodges’ residence “on multiple occasions” during that time, investigators said.

Man Arrested for Drunk Driving With Infant in Back Seat - And Much More!

If this was just a simple case of a drunk parent driving with the kids in the car, this may not have made it on The Dumbass Daily. I mean, really: how often do we hear about these idiots? Once or twice a week anymore? But Amilcar Lopez, 21, of Lynn, MA went above and beyond with his latest arrest. And we do mean "latest" since it appears this has happened a couple of times in the past. Let's see if we can break it down for you in bullet points:

- Passed several cars waiting at a stop light, turned left against same light right in front of cops
- Pulled over for OUI (operating under the influence) at 3:45 in the afternoon
- Not wearing seatbelt
- Infant daughter in the back seat, in a car seat, but NOT buckled in.
- Told cops he had a valid drivers license when he didn't
- Almost fell out of car when cops asked him to get out
- Urinated on himself while sitting in the back of a police car
- Cops find 12 empty bottles of Heineken in his car and another partially full
- And to top things off, the license plates on his Honda matched to a different vehicle, a 1998 Ford Explorer, recently purchased by someone else

In the end, young Mr. Lopez was charged with: operating under the influence (second offense), OUI with a child in the car, unlicensed operation of a vehicle, two counts of a red light violation, improper passing, drinking alcohol from a container while driving, driving an unregistered car and driving an uninsured car. And yes, somehow his kid was okay through all of this. (The Daily Item of Lynn)

Teacher Arrested for Being Drunk in Class, Blew Twice the Legal Limit BAC to Drive - Schallenberger Elementary School in San Jose

The little monsters have only been back in the classroom a couple of weeks and the teachers are already hitting the booze--and HARD! How hard? They're showing up at school drunk.
Apparently at Schallenberger Elementary School in San Jose some teachers became concerned about one of their as-yet-unnamed co-worker who appeared to be inebriated (for those of you in Muncie, that would be drunk, plastered, or smashed). So, they contacted the administration, who called the cops, who showed up only to confirm what everyone already seemed to know: this lady teacher was drunk! According to the cops, more than twice the legal limit to drive of .08% BAC or around .16% . . . which is some pretty good drinking! You don't get that by having a single Bloody Mary before work or a can of beer in the car at lunch.
Regardless of how she got her liquor, this female teacher was charged with a misdemeanor because it's against the law to be under the influence of any intoxicating liquor, drug or controlled substance in a condition that leaves someone unable to exercise care for his or her own safety or the safety of others. (San Jose Mercury News)

Male Teacher Arrested for Sending Porn to Student - Thomas Price, Lincoln High School

Are high school kids that lazy these days that they need to have a teacher actually send porn to them? Why, I remember in the old days when kids had to find their own porn or find a copy of National Geographic. Not that I'm complaining or anything, but it just seems that no matter how easy we make things for kids these days (haven't they ever heard of the Internet for free porn?) they're just whining for more.
Here's more from The Charleston Gazette:

A Harrison County fine arts teacher has been arrested for allegedly sending sexually explicit material to a minor. Thomas Price, 42, of Shinnston was arrested at Lincoln High School on Thursday and charged with two counts of displaying and distributing obscene matter to a minor. State Police Senior Trooper B.W. Claypool wouldn't give the victim's age, or say whether he's a student at the school. Claypool says Price allegedly had sent the boy links to pornographic Web sites and sexually charged text messages since January. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from the victim's family.
