Being a teacher can be stressful.
I am going to vote not guilty.
Brook Ellen West, 32-years-old, has been identified as the Kentucky middle school substitute teacher who was arrested on Monday, April 15, for allegedly drinking vodka during class.
According to police, West — a substitute teacher at Royal Springs Middle School in Scott County, Kentucky — allegedly admitted to drinking four shots of vodka around 11 a.m. after students complained that West was “yelling and cursing” at students during class.
When officers arrived at the scene, which was filled with students aged 11 to 13, West was given a preliminary breath test which revealed that her blood alcohol content was at .317.
West was then arrested on Monday, April 15, and charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place and endangering the welfare of a minor.
It doesn’t appear she will be arrested.
