A South Garland High School teacher and student were caught in a compromising position in a car that put the teacher behind bars Wednesday.
Lindsey Holt, 23, faces two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 after police said they found her and the student in a car parked in a Garland park.
The teacher was released from the Garland Detention Center on a $5,000 bond.
Police charged Holt with having an improper relationship with a student, which according to state law involves sexual contact.
However, police have not charged her with sexual assault because the student was 17 and is officially an adult, but they said what happened at the Garland park was criminal.
The police have not released details, but said police officers doing routine patrols in the park came across the two in the car.
"They came across the vehicle, which for some reason raised their suspicion, walked up to it and that was when they saw the teacher and student in a compromising position," said Joe Harn, Garland Police Department.
The park is down the road from the South Garland High School where Holt is a first-year home education teacher.
"You're supposed to be teaching the kids and instead you are teaching them the birds and the bees and everything," said Chris Harnd, a former South Garland High School student. "That is not how it is supposed to go. Your supposed to be teaching home-ed and that is it."
Many students at the school described Holt as a popular teacher at the school.
"She was just a cool teacher," said Nathias Slaughter, Garland student. "I never thought anything. I never would have thought she would have an affair with a student from the school or anything like that."
Holt will not return to the classroom she has been placed on paid leave until the outcome of the investigation.
Police are still looking into what kind of relationship the student and teacher had, and more charges are possible against the teacher.
Bump that!
I like your rants.
Keep 'em coming!
Todd has been exiled from every forum I have ever known him to post to...so far.
I am 100% male, except for my feminine side ( LOL).
It is true that we all get a little queezy having to think about coping with same sex hits. As you say, television romanticizes it, and makes the social venues we inhabit more closed and cold.
The last gay hit I received several years ago had me simply saying outright and candidly, " Not in the least interested!" right on the spot. It hurt the guy's feelings but he took the chance and took the hit.
It seems that trolling has become much more complicated than in the old days , and now forbidden somewhat. I have
a close friend who has a penchant for hitting on gay women
and its a running joke between us.
The net result seems to be a paucity of social grace and warmth compared to the way things used to be.
Capote was an outstanding film. Hoffman and Keener (the latter as Harper Lee) gave incredible performances. It makes for a GREAT double feature with "In Cold Blood."
As for "Bareback Mountin'", I liked it better when it was shown on South Park as "Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding." Larry McMurtry should be ashamed of himself.
Whew! ;o)
Male lesbians I can handle. lol
Personally, I'm going to handle it by staying out of Portland.
Former Mayor, and commie, Vera Katz welcomed GLBTs and the homeless with opened arms.
She even went so far as to say that, if we don't agree with it, then stay out.
So, I will do just that.
"Todd has been exiled from every forum I have ever known him to post to...so far."
I've noticed that.
Sooooo...has he run out of forums on which to post as TBLSHOW?
If you see the screen name "Ann Coulter", that just might be him...but good. ;o)
