A teaching assistant (TA) at a middle school in Georgia was arrested and fired after a student mistakenly drank her bottle of vodka, thinking it was Mountain Dew, per the NY Post.
The TA, Alexandra
“Nicole”
Lambert, 39, was let go from Morgan County Middle School after a student took a sip from her bottle, believing it to be soda. The student realized the mistake and reported it to another teacher, who then brought the issue to the principal’s attention. Lambert admitted that the bottle contained vodka but claimed it was brought to school accidentally.
Morgan County Sheriff’s deputies were called and conducted a breathalyzer test, which revealed Lambert’s blood-alcohol level to be 0.259, more than three times the legal limit for driving in Georgia. Lambert was subsequently arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, specifically public drunkenness. She was then booked at the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Adult Detention Facility.
Morgan County Charter Schools acknowledged the incident in a statement addressed to parents and guardians, adding that Lambert
“is no longer employed with our district.”
The district added,
“The safety of our staff and students is paramount, and we take all incidents seriously… We have zero tolerance for any behavior that could jeopardize their well-being.”
