Police: Teacher Was Drunk At School

A Laurel County teacher is now suspended. Police say he was drunk at school.

Students at the Bentley School says they noticed something strange about Mitchell Sizemore Monday. So the school called police.

School resource officer Ryan Young, "We detected a strong odor of alcoholic beverage. His behavior led me to believe he was under the influence. I conducted field sobriety tests, which he failed."

Police arrested Sizemore. He paid the bond, and left the Laurel County jail.

The next day, he drove to the school to pick up his paycheck.

School officials say they again noticed alcohol, and police arrested Sizemore again -- this time, they charged him with drinking and driving.

Laurel County superintendent Walter Hulett says this won't be tolerated. "Teachers are held to a higher standard. Certainly, teachers know that. All of our teachers show up every day and do a good job. When something like this happens, it reflects on all of us."

The superintendent says Sizemore has no history of problems. Sizemore will tell his story at a hearing next Thursday.

I had a drunk teacher in junior high. He would go to the supply closet and take a few swigs between classes. He drank vodka so it didn't smell as much.

One afternoon we stole his hooch and replaced with water. He lost it. I'm not kidding, he went totally ballistic, full out nervous breakdown, so they called it. He never came back to school.

Boozin ain't just for students anymore.

A couple of teachers I had were teaching when my dad was in school. My dad (and some of my friend's parents) would tell us stories about the teachers partying with the students.

My kindergarten teacher was caught at school drunk. I remember she was "out" for a week, and then came back. Well at least she didn't drive in drunk to pick up her check.

I also had an alcoholic teacher at school, the scary thing is that he was teaching woodwork.

I'm not condoning drunk driving, I'm vehemently against it, and will report it when I see it. An alcoholic driving drunk to pick up his check, isn't unusual, it's par for the course. It's business as usuall. There is no, or little consideration for the consequences, which is why many drunks act surprised and/or slighted when reprimanded for thier behavior.

Granted it is stupid, but not so unusual, pretty typical actually. I've done it.
