Teacher Shows Up Drunk..Third Graders Report Her to Principal

A Chesterfield County Virginia substitute-teacher is facing several charges after a group of students reported her to the principal's office Friday.
The principal at Jacobs Road Elementary School told parents about the incident in a letter she sent home to parents. It says less than 30 minutes after school started the students reported that the teacher was in possession of alcohol on school property.
Police say that 50-year old Sabrina Pado was substitute-teaching for third grade students and when they arrived they found beer inside her water bottle.
Pado has been charged with being drunk in public and having alcohol on school property, both misdemeanors.
A spokesman for the school system would not comment except to say it's a personnel matter and did say the system has strict expectations of all employees and those expectations come with consequences.
Cyrus Mom sits next to the teacher's desk and he says there was a strong odor of beer in his classroom Friday morning.
A little girl complaining of the classroom reeking of the alcohol odor so bad, she got sick.
Cyrus says, "The nurse asked the little girl why she felt so bad."
It's what landed 50-year-old substitute teacher Sabrina Pado some time in jail instead of the classroom.
The school day had just started for third graders at Jacobs Road, but police sources say that Pado's drinking had not.
Sources say the substitute was highly intoxicated, which led her to be removed from class and later arrested.
The alcohol was hidden in a coffee thermos.
Parents commend the young children for stepping up when they thought something was wrong.
