Angela Faith Jourdan was restrained and escorted out of a Lake Minneola High School classroom in Lake County, Florida, on Monday after acting erratically during class, according to investigators. The school resource officer received an alert around 10:20 a.m. and arrived in the classroom.
Deputies said Jourdan was yelling incoherently, slamming her hands on a desk and telling others they should put her in prison for life. They also said she was twerking in the classroom and referring to herself as a million dollar prostitute, while allegedly telling students she would have sex with them.
The disruption escalated when Assistant Principal Pannett entered the classroom and told Jourdan to gather her belongings and leave. Jourdan refused and said she did not want to be Tasered, according to the account. She was then restrained and escorted to the office.
Deputies said Jourdan was not following the lesson plan for the day. A student also alleged that Jourdan battered her, yelled at her, called her a derogatory name and placed the teacher's hands on her neck during the incident.
Jourdan was arrested and fired by Lake County Schools. She faces three misdemeanor charges: disorderly conduct, simple battery and two counts of disruption of a school function. The case leaves open the central question of how long she remained in the classroom before staff and law enforcement were able to stop the episode that unfolded in front of students.
