An elementary school teacher is facing charges after allegedly driving to work with a blood-alcohol level over three times the legal limit and failing to stop after reportedly striking a pedestrian.

Just before 7:00 AM on April 16, a 29-year-old woman employed as a special education teacher at Glendover Elementary School in Lexington, Kentucky, got into her vehicle and headed to work. According to reports, she had taken multiple types of medication before getting behind the wheel. During her commute, the woman reportedly struck a pedestrian and continued driving without stopping. The authorities were notified, and the injured pedestrian was rushed to the hospital by emergency medical technicians.

Officers with the Lexington Police Department went to the scene and suspected the incident was a hit-and-run. The authorities utilized footage from surveillance cameras in the surrounding area to learn the offender’s identity. When they pinpointed the vehicle they believed was involved in the incident, they traced it to the school parking lot, where they found the teacher when they arrived. They reported that it seemed like she had been drinking. When asked, the woman reportedly said she drank rum the previous evening, but did not drink that morning.

A Kentucky man was jailed after the authorities reportedly found a missing 16-year-old girl from North Carolina hidden under the floor in his bedroom.

According to reports, last month, a 34-year-old man from Lexington, Kentucky, drove to Fayetteville, North Carolina, to pick up an underage girl he met online. The man, who was reportedly aware that the girl was 16 years old, allegedly told her he was 19. She left with him, and he brought her back to his home. The girl was reported missing shortly after.

On Christmas day, the authorities were called to a home regarding a domestic violence situation. When they arrived, the man’s mother said she was the one who called because her son was fighting with his girlfriend. The man told the authorities that the girl was no longer at the home, but his mother insisted that she was.
