Texas Teacher Fired for Bottle Toss

(Katy, Texas) A 34-year-old art teacher at Morton Ranch Junior High School, Crystal Lara Andrus, has been accused of throwing a bottle at the head of a student and causing a laceration requiring six staples to close.

Consequently, Andrus was fired from her teaching job this week after a school board meeting.

The bottle throwing incident took place Oct. 4 during a third period class at Morton Ranch Junior High School.

A sergeant with Katy ISD police said Andrus, who was an art teacher, threw the glass bottle toward the back of the head of a seventh grade student after losing her temper, according to a probable cause document.

Andrus was booked and released on $2,000 bond.
