A 45-year-old former high school dance team coach and school crossing guard in Colorado Springs was arrested after her daughter's 16th birthday party turned into something akin to "High School Girls Gone Wild."
Marsha Ann Williams, who had been employed by Colorado Springs School District 11 as a crossing guard, was arrested Friday afternoon on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of minors in connection with a party at her home in January.
Williams, who has no arrest history and was a volunteer coach at Mitchell High School, spent 12 hours in jail before posting a $1,000 bond.
On Sunday, Williams blamed some of her daughter's friends' parents for conducting a "witch hunt" that resulted in her arrest.
"I've never been in trouble before, especially for something I did not do," Williams said. "It's a nightmare."
Colorado Springs police, however, have accused Williams of hosting an "inappropriate party" where juvenile guests were given party favors shaped like male genitalia. Further, police said, "some of the girls simulated sexual acts with the party items and some of the acts were captured in photographs."
Williams said she did not take any explicit photographs. "If somebody did that, it was not me," she said. "I have actual tape of the party. The police did not want to see (it)."
She admits to making some mistakes in judgment but doesn't believe she should be treated as a criminal.
For instance, Williams acknowledged she should have put her foot down when her daughter bought erotic lollipops and straws as party favors for her 11 guests.
And she should have contacted parents, she said, after police officers reported to Williams that two of the girls were outside flashing and mooning motorists. Williams said she thought the girls were out picking up another young woman who wasn't allowed to walk alone after dark.
"I admit I had bad judgment," Williams said. "But is that a crime? Obviously, it was a mistake, and obviously, we learn when we make mistakes."
After some of the girls' parents saw photos of the party, they notified school officials, who in turn called police.
Williams was placed on administrative leave from the crossing guard job she had for seven years. Administrators then fired her, she said.
Williams faces her first court appearance Wednesday. She said she is humiliated and worries about the effect of the incident on her daughter, who is a junior. "I can't even imagine her going to school," Williams said.
Yes, sweetheart, when you get warning signs like the ones above and shove your head into the sand, it's a crime....
Its not my fault!!!!
Wonder who she voted for in last election.
Teenage girls gone wild PING!!!
Why do people insist on
taking pictures when wild things start happening?
When will the lesson be learned?
That picture is too funny!
Yikes.
I'm betting she was keeping things quieter on one end of the room and in the next room the kids were going bonkers..
That I've seen happen.. and been a aperty to when I was much younger.
But still.. "Girls gone wild: House Party" does sound like a horrible reality show.
;)
LOL I hate it when that happens
how was your weekend?
Hey cameras are off limits. Party rules!
But you'd jump at the chance for an invitation!!
And how is this different then what they have children do in their sex education class?
Good, thanks. Did a lot of painting inside my house.
And she's going to be a wonderful grandma in a few years, I'm sure! ;-P
Great picture.
LOL, I'd probably be hosting the show..
You would be the hands-on type of host I am sure!
