Teacher Gets DUI On Way to Class

(Orlando, Florida) A teacher of the emotionally-challenged at West Oaks Elementary School, Vicki Tucker, was arrested for driving under the influence on her way to morning classes.

According to witnesses, she was seen swerving about the road and bouncing off curbs.

Investigators say Tucker had bloodshot eyes and was slurring her speech when she was approached. A search of her vehicle resulted in finding a cold, but empty, beer can and several bottles of medication -- including oxycodone and xanex.

In her defense, Tucker told officers that she had just learned that she had a terminal illness.
