A Louisiana physical education substitute teacher is accused of encouraging students to bully and tackle a classmate.
The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office alleges Aadrina Smith, 24, offered five students $5 each to tackle a female student.
The propositioning and altercation took place during a physical education class at North Caddo Elementary Middle School on August 23.
“She offered to pay the students, but ultimately did not,” Sheriff’s spokesperson Bia Roldan said. “Only three of the students actually touched the victim.”
Video footage obtained by police, shows Smith speaking with five students and then she appears to congratulate three of the students who participated in the assault.
Roldan says Smith never helped the alleged victim or reported the incident.
“This was out of retaliation,” she said. “The suspect was upset and thought the student had told the vice principal that she had left work early the day before. Whether or not the student did or not I don’t know. That’s what the motive was.”
Roldan says the sheriff’s office learned of the incident after the student reported it to her parent.
“The student informed their parent and the sheriff’s department was informed by the school district the day after the incident happened,” she says. “The student luckily didn’t have to seek medical care and was just lightly hurt.”
Smith was arrested on Sept. 12 and booked on five counts of contributing to the delinquency of juveniles and malfeasance in office.
However, she was released on a $10,000 bond.
“Anything like this should not happen,” Roldan says. “A good takeaway is if you see something, say something. We appreciate that the public is vigilant, and they speak up when they need to.”
The incident is still under investigation and more arrests are possible, according to the sheriff’s office.
So she did this out of retaliation and then they released her…so she can retaliate again?
The education system is full of nasty DemonRATS. They need to be gone.
This should be labeled a hate crime and treated as a terrorist threat against a student,quit letting these criminals off easy
This teacher may have been retaliating against a student rejecting sexual harassment advancement. I guess the thug did not qualify for cashless bail?
i agree 100% they need to be held to a higher accountability, especially being a teacher
I get so tired of seeing people post demo rats when they see a black person’s picture. I am black and I am a republican and I know quite a few other blacks that are Republicans. Will you please start identifying Voters by race.
I don’t think they are calling them “Demo rats” because of their skin color. It’s because of their behavior. I see the same name calling directed toward white people who commit crimes like this. It is possible that you are mistaken and it has nothing to do with their race. When I see people throwing that name around, I never think “black people.” I think “morons doing moron things and hitting the news for it.”
Please stop ( not start) misstype
Please stop identifying voters by race. Not every black person is a democrat. I’m black and I’m a Republican and I know a lot of other Republicans that are black
