Woman Accused of Impersonating Substitute to Insult Students
A woman named Amy Jones went to a high school in Milwaukee pretending to be a substitute teacher.
She had attended the school before.
Students said she made hurtful comments and behaved inappropriately in class.
They told school staff, who checked with the substitute agency.
The agency said Jones did not work for them.
Police came and took her out of the school.
Jones reportedly said she was bored and hated children.
She was charged with several offenses on October 4.
The charges are allegations, not a statement that she has been found guilty.
Amy Jones, 23, allegedly posed as a substitute teacher at Rufus King International High School in Milwaukee on September 24.
Jones was a former student and reportedly scouted the school about a week before the incident.
Students said she made offensive remarks about race, weight, appearance and money, and asked whether anyone had marijuana or a vape.
The school contacted the substitute agency, which said Jones was not its employee; authorities then escorted her out.
On October 4, Jones was charged with five counts of exposing a child to harmful descriptions and one count of impersonating a public employee.
