Teacher Resigns After Arrest

(Jefferson, Georgia) A 27-year-old fourth-grade teacher with Jefferson City Schools, Crystal Doolittle, was arrested last week for allegedly being drunk in public and creating a disturbance.

Doolittle was arrested late Thursday night on charges she caused a scene Mike’s Down Under on Sycamore Street.

The bar manager called police at about 11 p.m. to report that Doolittle was being “loud and disorderly” in the parking lot, according to a report filed by a Jefferson police officer.

When the officer arrived, he started talking to the manager about what had happened. Doolittle ran over and started cursing at the officer.

When the officer told her that he would talk to her after he finished interviewing the manager, she ran over to his patrol car and started trying to open the doors and said, “Take me to jail,” the officer reported.

Doolittle was booked into custody at the Jackson County Jail. She was released on bond on Friday. On Monday, Doolittle reportedly resigned her teaching position.
