Teacher blows more than $30K of school funds at casino
Lydia Christine Johnson Macomb County Sheriff’s Office
A Michigan high school teacher pocketed more than $30,000 in student activity funds and then squandered it all in a Detroit casino, a report said.

Lydia Christine Johnson, 29, was charged with embezzlement Thursday for lifting $19,000 in funds for the Dakota High School’s homecoming dance and another $12,500 for a school trip, according to The Detroit News.

Johnson then allegedly went to the MGM Grand Detroit casino where records show that she threw away more than $90,000 on penny slots in 2016.

The casino receipts were even discovered along with empty cash envelopes for the school’s homecoming dance, Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith said.

“This teacher held a position of trust within the high school,” Smith said in a statement. “She repaid that trust by feeding student funds into a slot machine.”

Johnson’s bond was set at $10,000. She is due back in court on Oct. 5.

If convicted, the teacher faces up to 10 years in prison.

News agencies around the world have converged on Florida as a man known to only bump threads has created his own thread. Some scientists speculate that this event may be even more rare than Haley's comet. News at 11.

I'm sure if they really looked into positions like hers all over the world, they would have a few more like this

Think there was one or two from the NY area that was in the news in the past year

You can easily do $5 a pull on penny slots if you are in the right casino.

Yeah. Happened when I was in school too. Mad shady. Teachers do some realllllly grimey shit. I know at least four teachers that went to prison for molesting students or being a heroine dealer. Just in my county. There are some really good teachers, but unfortunately the bad ones are either some sick fucks or just terrible teachers.

if the casinos had any conscience they would return most, if not all of
the losses, to the school and students. what are the chances.
