Mrs. Teacher Clobbers Cops

(Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) A 26-year-old social studies teacher at Southern Lehigh High School, Katie Quartuch, was arrested last week for an alleged physical altercation with two off-duty police officers.

Quartuch faces charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, obstructing the administration of law, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. She was arraigned before District Judge Diane Repyneck of Lower Saucon Township and released on $25,000 bail.

The charges resulted from an incident at Starters Riverport restaurant about 2 AM when Quartuch attacked the officers as they were attempting to usher another customer from the establishment. She hit one officer in the chest and another was kicked in the groin. Quartuch's husband, Matthew, 32, was cited for disorderly conduct.

For being a social studies teacher, Quartuch was arguably quite anti-social.
