Married, Mother of Two Female Teacher Accused of Sex With Male Students

Yes, that's studentS, plural, and in a small town in Ohio, no less. Yet, people still seemed shocked that this is happening almost daily in this country. Is it that are teachers are so much looser this days or are the high school boys so sexually potent that they can't be resisted? Most like, it's the fault of the Internet. Here's more on the latest story from MSNBC:

A Rittman High School teacher was arraigned in Wayne County court Monday, accused of having sexual relationships with students. Erin Speicher, 34, (mug shot picture at right) of Orrville, was arrested at her home on Sunday. She was charged with sexual battery.

Rittman Police Chief Mike Burg said the investigation began when word about inappropriate conduct with male students came to light. Burg said all the alleged incidents took place at Speicher's home*. Police believe there were multiple incidents and multiple victims.

*Other reports we're reading say the alleged incidents happened at the school. No doubt the cops will get a complete report out at some point.

The real question is: who would play her in the Lifetime movie about this incident? I'm thinking Selma Blair, but that may just be because of the haircut. Make your suggestions in the comments section below.

High School Boy Accused of Using Cell Phone to Take Upskirt Pictures of Teacher, Greenbrier High School

The whole "sexting" and "female teachers having sex with underage boys" seemed to have spawned a whole new weird form of debauchery: underage boys using their cell phone cameras to take what are known as "upskirt" pictures of a female teacher. Our friends at TheSmokingGun.com have the full story along with mug shots and a picture of the alleged victim:

According to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office report, Pickard, 17, surreptitiously snapped photos of Greenbrier High School teacher Ellen Hotchkiss on Monday. After several students on Tuesday told a school safety officer that he was showing the photos around, the officer seized Pickard's phone. The 33-year-old Hotchkiss, pictured at right, examined the images and "identified her legs and underwear from the previous day."

Man Robs Gas Station, Runs Out of Gas

I see the tiny flaw in your plan there: If you're going to rob the gas station and make your getaway, probably best to buy your gas FIRST, then rob the place with a Bowie knife (I assume that's bigger than a Butter knife). Oh well, live and learn, right? Here's more from The Naples News:

The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office says 23-year-old David Eric Hampton used a Bowie knife to rob a Cape Haze gas station early Sunday. Deputies say Hampton pulled the 12-inch blade and demanded money. But when he left, a customer followed him and called 911. While deputies were looking for signs of the robber, a newspaper carrier told them that a man in a car matching the one from the robbery had run out of gas nearby. Hampton was arrested several hours after the robbery and charged with robbery with a weapon and loitering/prowling.

Fourth Grade Teacher Allegedly Has Side Job as Prostitute, Used School Computer to Set Up Date With Cop

Once again, it appears we aren't paying our teachers enough . . . at least not in Bellafontaine, Ohio. We also apparently have to find out a way to keep women from using free ads on CraigsList to get paid for sex. Here's more from ABC News:

A fourth-grade teacher had a side job as a prostitute, and even skipped class after using a school computer to arrange an afternoon tryst at a motel, authorities said Wednesday.

Amber Carter, 35, left school early on Tuesday — taking half a sick day — and was arrested in a motel parking lot in Bellefontaine, where authorities had set up a sting operation. An anonymous e-mail was sent to the Logan County Sheriff's Department on Feb. 4 saying a local woman was posting cash-for-sex ads on the popular Web site Craigslist, Lt. Rob Bibart said.

Detectives found the ad and arranged Tuesday's meeting with Carter, he said. "It was done very subtly. We pulled up, I identified myself," he said. "I put her in an unmarked car and off we went."

Fake Chicago Cop Makes Mistakes, Messes With Real Off-Duty Cops

Want to pretend to be a cop? Best to do that in the privacy of your own home (or at one of those "Pretend to Be a Cop" clubs everyone is talking about) because you never know who you might accidentally come in contact with during your, uh, "game." Maybe two REAL cops? here's more from the Chicago Sun Times:

Juan Quintero, 25, of the 4600 block of North Monticello Avenue, was charged with impersonating a police officer, a felony, and aggravated assault for pointing a phony gun at the officers, according to police. About midnight, Quintero, who was not wearing a police uniform but had a “dimestore badge’’ or phony star around his neck allegedly approached a man and a woman -- who are off-duty Chicago Police officers -- who walked to a vehicle and then got inside it near the intersection of North Leavitt Street and West Lawrence Avenue, police said.

For an unknown reason, Quintero allegedly yelled at them and threatened them, saying, “You guys have to get out of here.’’ When the officers asked who he was, Quintero allegedly said, “I am the Chicago Police, now get out of here,’’ and he allegedly pulled out a plastic toy gun that in the dark looked like a real semi automatic handgun, police said.

Quintero fled the scene when he saw the officers had real guns, but was picked up a little while later. My guess is they had some fun with him at the police station.

Man Calls Cops for Missing Child, They Find Pot Plants Instead

You know, I'd be the last person to tell you how to run your business. Especially if that business is growing pot . . . which I know nothing about. Really.

But, if you're going to set up a massive grow operation in your basement, you may want to think twice before inviting the police over to help find your missing 5-year-old. Especially when the kid is just hiding in a closet. Anyone else thing someone might have been too stoned to actually look for the kid? Just sayin'.

Yeah, that might put a crimp in the availability of pot in Warrensburg, NY for awhile. Here's more from Post Star:

Patrol officers were sent looking for a missing 5-year-old boy at a Warrensburg home Tuesday, and they found not only the child, but 68 marijuana plants growing in the basement, according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office. Police arrested Joseph F. Weiler, 28, and Kenneth Weiler, 24, both of 4 Orton Drive, in connection with the incident. Joseph Weiler faces misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child and violating the state public health law for growing marijuana.

Kenneth Weiler is charged with misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of marijuana and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance for having propoxyphene, a narcotic drug he didn’t have a prescription for.

The child was found hiding in a closet.
