Cops Clobbered in Teacher DUI Case

(Homestead, Florida) A 42-year-old Spanish teacher at Chapman Elementary School, Joann Tomas, was arrested on multiple charges resulting from a traffic stop for erratic driving.

When the first officer pulled her over, he noticed she had "watery eyes, flushed face and slurred speech," according the arrest affidavit.

The officer also noted in the report that she had trouble finding her drivers' license, needed help regaining her balance while exiting the SUV and had to hold onto her vehicle to get her balance before walking.

Tomas was handcuffed and taken to jail but not before threatening the officer. She stated, "I am taking your job, I am going to say you took my shirt off, lifted by skirt and touched my (expletive)," according to the arrest report.

She allegedly didn't stop there.

When she arrived at the jail, police say she managed to take off the handcuffs and threw them at another officer, before she kicked him in the groin. The officer tasered Tomas in the chest but she still got up and tried to punch the officer. He then tasered her a second time.

When other officers arrived and attempted to handcuff her again, she tried to kick and punch them, according to the arrest report.

Tomas has been charged with battery of an officer, DUI and resisting arrest with violence.
