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.
If this teacher looks like the one if Florida, she won't have to worry...that one just got probation, I believe...
Of course, her good looks didn't hurt, it was said on a local talk show here in Dallas...where both cases were discussed.
yes...at least...
Thanks. Seventeen sure seems young to be considered an adult. It also gives people who wish to take advantage of a seventeen year old a lot of leeway.
I'd be surprised if this teacher gets anything near what she ought to.
You would think that they might think of that mannequin thing. I'm sure the Home Ec Dept has them.
This is indeed a case of "beaver fever".
When it first broke, the assumption was that an aggressive 17 year old boy got "blown away". Alas, the words "she was in her class" were spoken on the news. AP spiked the story.
They will let it die and give her a slap on the wrist, and I'd bet a paycheck she does not lose her job...why? because it was a gay thing...
She won't settle for a slap on the wrist. She will plea for a slap elsewhere!
Good catch!
Yup, half of the unholy feminist/yahoo alliance that fuels this hysteria will fall silent on this case.
If the student is an adult then what is the justification for arresting the teacher but not the student?
We have children that attend this school. This will NOT get whitewashed by the TEA. Other school districts in north Texas (Wilmer Hutchins for instance) will be investigated as a result of this. The She-Woman Man Haters Club got exposed. Alfalfa would be proud.
Let's put it this way. Men committing statetory rape usually get the book thrown at them. Women committing statetory rape generally get less, in some instances much less. My guess is that this incident will get the lightest sentence of all.
Let's hear a round of applause for that female teacher that got three years house arrest for having relations with a 14 year old. Anyone think I guy would have gotten off that easy?
I hope you're right. these friggin queers are destroying everything good in the world. I place them a bigger threat than I do the rags. I think we need a 'diversity cleansing' very soon...
A person may become emancipated at the age of 17 in the state of Texas. Official Oppression is very likely, since Ms Rugmonster had Miss Spreadme in her classroom. Rest assured that the bondsman is working overtime to insure that Ms Rugmonster shows up for the preliminary hearing safe and sound.
Thats what they want you to think. My kids hate me! There are very few (and fewer all the time) shows that my family watches all the way through. As soon as it shows up, the TV gets switched to FOX news, or just turned off.
Home education teacher? Is this what they're now calling what I remember in the 8th grade as "Home Economics" (cooking, sewing, ironing...)? Thought I should ask, because given today's gubbermint schools, you never know what might be in the curriculum.
she better be pretty
Wilmer Hutchins ISD has man haters? Sure they have lots of athletic chicks that need to shave, but that doesn't prove much.
How did the car put her behind bars?
she's 23? that's a hard 23.
