An “intoxicated” teacher approached police at the party and was also arrested. An elementary school principal in Florida was arrested after 100 children were found at an alcohol-infused party she hosted, police said. Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, the 47-year-old principal of Roosevelt Elementary School in Cocoa Beach, was arrested on January 19 after police were called for a reported house party.
When offices arrived, they found more than 100 kids dressed in “matching t-shirts.” Many of them were consuming alcohol that was available in coolers inside the house. One child was suffering from an “alcohol-related medical event” on the principal’s lawn. The kid was “so heavily intoxicated” that the Brevard County Fire Rescue was called to treat the child, police said.
Officesaw Hill-Brodigan in her driveway turning off the outside lights before walking into her home. That meant the fire rescue team had to use their vehicle’s auxiliary lights while treating the child with the medical episode, police said. Another child was arrested for DUI near the principal’s home, authorities said.
An “intoxicated” Roosevelt Elementary teacher — Karly Anderson — approached the officers at the scene, telling them she was a teacher and had been at the party, police said. Both Hill-Brodigan and Anderson were both arrested. They each face one felony charge of child neglect and one misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
