Teacher Shows Up Drunk on First Day—Without Pants

[MADem]

(NEWSER) – As far as back-to-school outfits go, Lorie Ann Hill's was an ill-advised one. Oklahoma police say the Wagoner Public Schools teacher allegedly showed up to the job on Monday drunk—and then removed her pants. Police fielded a 9am call from school officials who had found Hill "in a room kind of disoriented," per the police chief, reports the Tulsa World. By the time police arrived she was in the principal's office and wearing shorts that school officials had found for her to wear. Police questioned Hill and say the 49-year-old told them she had been drinking vodka.

FOX23 reports that two fellow Wagoner High School teachers discovered her in the classroom, which she claimed was hers; police, for their part, found an empty cup in Hill's car, but no DUI charges will be brought against her because there are no "credible witnesses" who may have seen Hill drink at home and then drive. Hill, who was a new hire with the school's special education department, was arrested for public intoxication on what was the first day teachers were reporting for duty; students begin classes today. The Muskogee Phoenix reports Hill was released from city jail on Monday afternoon. (The case isn't exactly a first.)

1. Guess she'll be job hunting again soon.

9. Apparently, she wasn't a teacher--I read in one article that she was a special ed worker.

In this one it said she was there to do "in service training" but wasn't an employee.

What's weird is she made it to the breakfast they had, and a couple of hours later, she was running around without her trou!

“She was there to start in-service training, but she was not an employee at Wagoner Public Schools,” Thompson said.
Lorie Ann Hill, 49, from Claremore, was arrested at 300 Bulldog Circle on Aug. 4, according to a police report filed by Jamie Powell of the Wagoner Police Department.
The report states the department received a call from vice-principal Nick Humphries about a “lady at the school with no pants on.” Powell states in his report that he questioned Hill to find out her name and if she knew where she was. Then the report states Hill admitted to drinking vodka and orange juice on her way to work.
Thompson said Hill made it to the 7:30 a.m. breakfast provided as a welcome to all new employees, but when in-service started at 9 a.m., she was “no longer with us.”
“She wrote a statement declining any offer of employment with WPS,” Thompson said. “I have that in writing. As soon as we found out there was a problem, we took care of it and moved on.”

2. Police mugshot @ 9:30am on first day is non-optimal

3. At least it's from the waist up, given she was found without pants.

Although I guess someone gave her some shorts or something...

Non-optimal, indeed. She looks terribly bloated, like her liver has been working overtime for far too long.

6. Indeed, chronic alcoholism is nothing to joke about.

However, the fact that the school she was at is called "Wagoner" is sort of ironic.

7. Oh dear.

I suppose you could say that having lost her job, she's "off the Wagoner...?"

8. Maybe she thought signing on there would help.

4. I mean, sometimes you're in a hurry

and you can't find your good clothes.

5. Even a blanket and a safety pin would have helped!!!! nt
