Substitute teacher arrested for being drunk at school

Last week we had a teacher smoking pot at school, now we have one getting hammered.

A substitute middle school teacher suspected of being drunk in class was too intoxicated to complete a sobriety test and was arrested, authorities said.

Thomas Brownlee, 56, was in a classroom Tuesday with students and another staff member for about 20 minutes, Richardson school district spokesman Tim Clark said. Another teacher suspected Brownlee was drunk and told a campus police officer.

A Dallas police report states that Brownlee “had slurred speech, breath smelling of an alcoholic beverage and bloodshot eyes.”

The officer stopped issuing a sobriety test out of concern for Brownlee’s safety, according to the report.
