An elementary school teacher is accused of having a partially consumed bag of wine in her classroom.

Shannon R. Beran, 43, of Deville, La. was allegedly displaying odd behavior during car rider pickup duty at Buckeye Elementary School, the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office reports. In a press release provided to Yahoo Lifestyle, Capt. Tommy Carnline shared that witnesses on the scene observed Beran “moving slowly and awkwardly.”

The authorities were called, and a school resource officer arrived on the scene about 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday to assist school administration. The officer confronted Beran and asked about her condition, and she became defensive and “stated she wanted to leave.” The officer detained Beran and started his investigation, which resulted in him finding of a partially consumed bag of wine in Beran’s classroom.
