Bodycam: Teacher Arrested at School for ‘Drunkenness’ After Alcohol Was Smelled on Her Breath

Body camera footage captures the arrest of an elementary school teacher in Oklahoma for public intoxication after she appeared to be drunk inside her own classroom. Jennifer Davis, the teacher in question, was found by Tecumseh police with red, glassy eyes and slurred speech when they sat down with her at 8:45 a.m. on September 7th. Despite blowing a 0.066 on a breathalyzer test, which is under the legal limit for driving, Davis' behavior raised serious concerns about her ability to properly care for and teach young students.

In the footage, Davis can be heard pleading "Please don't do this," and offering to resign while asking for her sister to come get her. She claimed to have only had a glass of wine the night before, and denied drinking anything on the day of her arrest. However, the evidence of her inebriated state during school hours was impossible to ignore for the responding officers.

This was personal. The people in that school office were taking great pleasure in hurting this lady. How under-handed and disgusting.

[tamirmickens]

There’s a BIG difference between this story and the “drunken teacher” story from weeks ago…they gave the other lady YEARS to find someone to call as she slurred speech and FOUND remnants of alcohol in her CLASSROOM. This lady is just sitting here fine, blew a .06 and given nothing but jail

[OhyeahMrKrabz]

That has to be the worst school administration ever

[LittleJennings]

Her criminal charges were recently dropped as what she did wasn’t unlawful.

[userx]

Man, they did her dirty. Let her resign; no need to take her to jail when she’s under the legal limit and cooperating. The cop even said he could just give her a ticket. That other school teacher from a few weeks ago was way more drunk and NOT making it easy and they gave her a whole hour to call someone. So unfair.

[DefinitelyNotATroLLLL]

Her co-workers pushing for her to get arrested is messed up. I swear people get off on other peoples misery.

[Mr.Snaggy]

So whats the point of having a Breathalyzer if its not accurate lmao

[EVERYTHINGPHONK]

every single person in that room was on a power trip

[Zef__]

Taking a breathalyzer test voluntarily and being told "on another machine you would have tested higher, so you are under arrest" is why you should decline the test every single time.

[robynsztyndor]

As an attorney— this is a miscarriage of justice. That’s hangover level. That’s ridiculous.

I am embarrassed for this school district— it should be sued. There was no reason for this lady to be arrested. I hope this officer is discharged.

[cogen]

If anybody is in that situation, don't say ANYTHING! Don't take any tests! She wasn't driving, she didn't have to take that test! Talk to a lawyer!

[daniecarolina]

The other cop looked at him with surprise when he said he was arresting her. You could tell the one talking to her while the one calling the shots was in the office felt uncomfortable.

[jillfeatherman]

For the cop to imply that he knows her BAC is higher without any evidence and then using that against her is such BS.

[mamatoad]

Kids come first, but this did not seem like a dangerous, irrational woman. They should have cited her and let her resign with dignity. This felt like a power play to me. We are all humans.

[garulusglandarius]

This lady was treated too harshly and her “ colleagues “ seemed intent on getting the worst outcome for her, shame on them and I wish this lady all the best for the future.

[carla.p]

So l don't understand. He asked her if she had someone who could come and pick her up, but then he took that option off the table!? Plus, she's under the legal limit, not over, so l'm left feeling a bit confused!?

[HostileTakeover]

Meanwhile, teachers who have “inappropriate” relationships with students aren’t even arrested at schools. I could stand by them firing her but arresting her was totally unnecessary.

[donnadonaldson]

You couldn’t have asked for someone to accept consequences any better than she did. I wish her the best.

[LimorLoveTata]

This isn't right. She was under the legal limit. The cop was heartless.

[chrisnelson]

Maybe they should start making cops take a breathalyzer every morning when they show up to the precinct. Let’s see how many of them pass the test.
