School staff observed Barnes “acting erratically” on her way into the building and reported her behavior to the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office, school spokesman Wayde Byard told the Loudon Times.

“They took her immediately to the office. She was never exposed to students and she was never in a classroom,” said Byard.

Barnes, who has been a substitute for the district since last March, was administered a breathalyzer and was later charged with public drunkenness.

She faces a fine of up to $250.

This isn’t the first time a Loudon teacher has been arrested after reporting to work intoxicated, according to the news site.

Creighton’s Corner Elementary School teacher Laura Ann Collins, 43, and J. Michael Lunsford Middle School teacher Radhakrishnan Sivarampillai, 46, were both charged with being drunk in public after showing up to their respective jobs inebriated in 2011.
