Summary - January 17, 2007

It's been a rough year for the Jacksonville Missisippi, School District. With one teacher accused of murder and another convicted this week, today a teacher is being investigated after being arrested and charged with possessing cocaine.

Jacksonville might be rough, but Massachusetts is decidedly weird.

A teacher was arrested for drunk driving and, turns out, he drives under a license in his deceased brother's name. Apparently, the teacher was wanted on traffic warrants - three of em. The disabled placard covered with black tape found in his car was reported missing for two years. (We're willing to bet that someone from Massachusetts will comment that he probably found it and was on his way to return it to the poor woman. In December, we reported on a principal arrested for throwing cigarettes over the wall to her convict son. We barely supressed the desire to say it was a early Christmas present. One of her defenders did it for us. And they meant it.)

A Miami school is in trouble for not reporting criminal activity - the Miami Herald hints that they waited until the end of the football season because he was the football star and it was an award-winning season.

An Ohio teacher was arrested for theft and misuse of a credit card. It's a relief after all the Ohio teachers who have been arrested on drug charges. Including today's 54-year old special education teacher who was arrested for allowing drugs in her house for her husband who was arrested on drug charges. The son was once "a former Tribune Chronicle Fugitive of the Week — wanted on drug possession charges."

All that, a few others, and a deer in the headlights photo.
