There’s a bit more detail about the allegedly drunk substitute teacher from Middletown this morning.

From an Associated Press story in today’s Star-Ledger:

School officials said fourth-grade students at Pine Brook Elementary School [in Manalapan] knew something was wrong when their substitute fell out of her chair, had trouble getting up and held her coffee mug tightly.

Students alerted the principal, who sent Mary Kaminski to the hospital Wednesday.

The 54-year-old was charged with possessing an alcoholic beverage on school property and child endangerment. Officials said the alcohol was in the mug.

Manalapan-Englishtown Regional schools Superintendent John Marciante Jr. told the Asbury Park Press Kaminski recently had retired from another school district in New Jersey.
