Alabama Teacher Arrested for Theft

(Dothan, Alabama) A 25-year-old high school math teacher at Northside Methodist Academy, Holly Nicole Faircloth, was arrested this week by Houston County Sheriff's deputies for theft of students' property.

Faircloth faces two counts of third-degree theft of property and one count of third-degree theft of property by deception.

According to Investigator Bill Rafferty, Faircloth stole two Vera Bradley bags from student's lockers at the school. Security cameras caught the act on tape, Rafferty said.

Also, Faircloth had been soliciting students for a supposed mission trip to Jamaica, according to Rafferty. The solicitation had been unknown to school officials, a violation of Northside policy.

Faircloth was booked into the Houston County Jail and released on bond.
