Teacher allegedly took vodka shots during school

Police say a tipsy teacher was arrested in Kentucky for giving a class lesson after taking vodka shots.

Brook West, 32, was charged with public intoxication after she got drunk Monday morning at Royal Spring Middle School in Georgetown, news station WKYT reported.

Deputies were called to the campus that afternoon on reports the substitute teacher was demonstrating “erratic behavior,” the school district said.

Responding officers said West reeked of alcohol and had trouble keeping her balance when they arrived.

She allegedly admitted to taking four vodka shots while filling in at the school as a substitute teacher.

West took a breathalyzer test which revealed she had 0.317% blood alcohol content, authorities said.

Scott County Schools said West was removed from the premises and will no longer be employed there.

“School staff acted immediately upon learning of this behavior,” the district said in a statement. “Scott County Sheriff’s Department escorted the substitute off school grounds later charging her with alcohol intoxication. The individual is no longer employed by Scott County Schools in any capacity.”

She was booked into Scott County Detention Center, where she also faces charges for endangering the welfare of a minor, according to court records
