Teachers Do The Darndest Things...

A school teacher who may have been upset about losing his job was arrested after he disrobed at his school and walked around naked.

 

Harlan Porter was caught by another teacher walking the halls of B.C. Haynie Elementary School in Morrow with his clothes off, according to a police report obtained Wednesday by the AJC.

 

It was around 3:20 p.m. Friday, after the students had gone home, and no child saw him naked, said Capt. James Callaway of the Morrow Police Department.

 

"Had he been seen by students, he would have been charged with child molestation," Callaway told the AJC.

 

Porter, 31, was charged with public indecency and indecent exposure, and booked into the Clayton County Jail. By Wednesday, he was out on a $2,000 bond.

 

The charges are a misdemeanor on a first offense, and Porter has no prior convictions, according to the police report.

 

Clayton County school system officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

 

Callaway, the police captain, said Porter was a teacher at B.C. Haynie but that he'd learned before the incident that his contract would not be renewed.

 

The police report says Porter had been behaving unusually. Teachers told police that he was a vegan who'd sworn off soft drinks, yet he'd gone to Taco Bell for tacos in the hours before he stripped.

 

The arresting officer wrote in the incident report that Porter spoke of a "new level of enlightenment" and said "he wanted everybody to be free now that his third eye was open."

 

"I then explained the obvious problem with his third eye being opened in public," the officer wrote. "He readily agreed that his decision to remove his clothing posed a problem and stated that he understood why I would likely have to place him under arrest."

 

Porter put his clothes back on at the officer's request, and the officer then double lock handcuffed him into the back of a police cruiser.

 

Porter told the cop that he understood his career with the Clayton school system was probably over. He said he still wanted to teach, but "on a new level, with hands in the earth, gathering the essence and learning how to love one another and fully appreciate the spiritual realm."

 

:wacko:

Gawd-danged hippies. That's the same phrase bushwacked used after drafting Drew Brees last year.

A substitute teacher at Riverdale Elementary School was arrested Wednesday for allegedly exposing himself and urinating into a trash can inside a classroom of fourth-graders.

 

Coleman Eaton Jr., 60, was charged with two counts of aggravated child molestation and was being held without bond Thursday in the Clayton County Jail.

 

“It was alleged that he walked to the back of the class, told the class not to turn around and allegedly urinated in one of the garbage cans in the back,” Riverdale police Major Greg Barney told the AJC.

 

“A couple of students turned around and observed him using the restroom in the garbage can,” Barney said. “One of the students went to the office after that and made the complaint.”

 

Barney said officers went to the school and interviewed the students and Eaton, then placed him under arrest.

 

Barney did not know how long Eaton had been employed by the school system but said, “I hear a long time. I believe this was his first time working at that school, but he’s been with the system for a while.”

 

"The district is investigating the incident," Clayton schools spokesman Charles White told the AJC Thursday. "Due to the open investigation, it is inappropriate to offer further comment."

 

Barney said Eaton had not given investigators a reason for his alleged conduct.

 

“He did not admit doing it, but we do have evidence that he did it,” Barney said, referring to the trash can allegedly used by Eaton.
