2 Teachers Arrested at Arkansas School For Being Drunk on the Job

SPRINGDALE, Ark. —  Authorities say a Springdale teacher was arrested at school on suspicion of public intoxication.

Authorities say they arrested 59-year-old Janice Dodson last week after other teachers complained of smelling alcohol on her breath. Dodson, who taught English as a Second Language courses at J.O. Kelly Middle School, has resigned.

Authorities say Dodson registered a .192 on a blood-alcohol level test, more than twice the legal limit in Arkansas. Dodson was released from the Springdale jail and has an arraignment set for July 1.

Dodson's husband, Dennis Dodson, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that his wife is devastated over the arrest.

"She's been a fabulous teacher," Dennis Dodson said. "She had a couple of beers at lunch, and it was a stupid mistake and she's paying every day for it."

... Janice Dodson is the second Springdale teacher to be arrested at school on an alcohol charge. Last month, kindergarten teacher Patricia Miller was arrested for driving under the influence after failing two field sobriety tests in her classroom at Young Elementary School. Police were called to the school after a parent saw Miller fall as she walked toward the front doors of the school, according to a police report.

Miller told police she's diabetic and under a doctor's care. She said she'd taken an antidepressant that morning and pain medication and a sleeping pill about 1 a.m.

I'd drink too if I were a teacher in today's world.  :evillaugh: :lmao:

Seriously, that's just wrong. And why is it ALWAYS "couple of beers"? Oy.

Hey, it wasn't Florida this time!  :-)

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Under paid.  Over worked.  Unappreciated. 
Yep.  I'd drink too but it damn sure wouldn't be during work hours.
