7 Oct
Summary
- Woman charged for posing as a substitute teacher out of boredom.
- She asked students about marijuana and used racial slurs.
- Authorities escorted her out after students reported her actions.
A 23-year-old woman, Amy Jones, was charged on Sunday, October 4, with impersonating a public employee and exposing children to harmful descriptions following an incident on September 24. Jones, a former student, allegedly posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King International High School after blending in with students.
During her time in the classroom, Jones reportedly asked students if they had marijuana or vapes and used racial slurs and profanities. She also made derogatory comments about students' appearance and wealth. Students alerted faculty about her behavior, prompting the principal to contact the substitute teacher agency, which confirmed Jones was not an employee.
Authorities arrived and escorted Jones from the school. She allegedly told officers she acted out of boredom and dislikes children. The school's principal confirmed that law enforcement and the district's Title IX coordinator were notified. The district is conducting its own investigation into the incident. Jones was scheduled for a preliminary hearing on October 20.
