Bodycam: Oklahoma Teacher Allegedly Shows Up Drunk on First Day of Elementary School
Ойын-сауық
Bodycam footage shows a third-grade teacher being questioned by Oklahoma police after allegedly showing up heavily intoxicated on the first day of school on August 17. The video shows Kimberly Coates awkwardly denying being drunk before blowing a 0.24 BAC during a breathalyzer test. Coates would later admit to drinking late the night before and the next morning on the way to work, but denied having any alcohol on school property. The school resource officer pressed her, referencing her cup of “juice.” “Want to try again? That there is wine,” the officer said. Perkins police took Coates into custody and later released her. It’s unclear whether formal charges will be filed against her. Read more on this story: bit.ly/47JlPef

As the former wife of an addict, I agree. Of course it's possible he is abusive or something, but I didn't sense that kind of fear from her. It's telling that she refused to call *anyone* in her life (not just husband), even under threat of being arrested. The people close to her have probably had enough of the lies and worrying about her, and her husband will be stuck sharing the fallout of her arrest, job loss, and ruined career. She was trying to delay facing any of that for as long as she possibly could. Maybe this will finally be her rock bottom.
Wow. She really opted to go to jail rather than call someone.

Her consistent use of a sad senior citizen mentality, as seen in this video, remains prevalent in her behavior.

@@tenderpreciousIt doesn’t necessarily mean bridges are burned. She might be going through some depression and has isolated herself from everyone because she is embarrassed by it and doesn’t want others to know she had a problem. I’m not taking her side whatsoever and she needs to be in jail but I’m hoping she gets the help she really needs. I’ve pushed my loved one away due to how low my life was a some point but thankful they were there for me afterwards. ❤
She said she was born in 1970? She looks a decade older than she actually is. I had a co-worker who literally couldn't function without drinking wine. Her body literally needed it, or she would seize. It was tragic. She's currently serving 6 months for her third DUI. I pray this is the final awakening she needs.

I was a school administrator for 5 years and had to fire a teacher for being drunk teaching high school kids. She was drinking and taking prescription xanax. I was so scared for her. I was for a while a CADC as well as a Therapist. It was so difficult for me and the staff to confront her but we needed to. We offered help but she refused. She resigned and was gone that same day. A few years later we found out she had passed away from cirrhosis of the liver. She was still a young woman of 40ish. I wish we could have done more for her.

She has a responsibilty and has crossed the line and only thinks of herself instead of her responsibilities and actions. Sher may think it is fine hiding in a bottle (or carton) of wine and going to teach. A person who is drunk does not have their faculties intact and have impaired reactions and thoughts. If she is in school teaching while intoxicated and something serious happened at the school like a fire and the alarms are going off, she might not be in the right frame of mind to help the children stay calm and get them to safety. She doesnt even want her husband and friends to find out she is an alcoholic. She is nt ready to get help, even though she sees a therapist. Her downfall is her own fault.

So far, I haven't heard anyone mention getting help for her.
She had a chance… she didn’t take it up
Man, having someone’s darkest/innermost demons dragged out for the entire world to see is somewhat humbling
Oh man. When you watch someone's life collapse around them due to alcohol addiction. That's heartbreaking.

Depends why they are an addict, seems she has her life together from outside but who knows. She just doing it because she an addict and nothing more then no sympathy if she has a good reason then it's probably a very good one as no one wakes up and decides to do this to themselves if everything is stable

I just got out of a coma and off life support. This addiction KILLS. I feel so hard for people struggling with addiction.
She was worried about the embarrassment of being walked out of school and now she's all over the internet. I hope that she gets the help that she needs and glad no one was hurt

0.24 BAC is 3x the legal limit. I’m seeing a counselor for my “stuff”. She’s still in denial at this time. I hope she gets help before she kills someone driving drunk again.
"Please don't do this to me." Nobody forced you to be three times the legal limit, at school, with a room full of kids. This was 100% self inflicted. And it makes me wonder how many times she drove home after school in this condition.

She's really accustomed to getting her way. I've been in a similar situation and I did no lying, no manipulation, no begging, I just took responsibility in the face of humiliation. This lady got treated so well, escorted out disreetly. Wasn't like that for me. It sucked but sometimes you just gotta take it on the chin and accept fate. She wasnt even living with her husband, at the end she said the key in her bag was to her Air BNB. She has a lot of work to do on herself.

This should be a top comment, much more than these "this is so sad" and "oh she needs help" comments. Obviously she needs help, but she doesn't want it, she had every opportunity to be straight up, and admit that she has an issue and work on it, but she just wasted their time and bullshitted them until their patience ran thin. No sympathy deserved here.
unfortunately, she was arrested again while going to court to fight this charge. she got arrested for public intoxication at the courthouse. she needs help

The progression usually goes the drink after work turns into the drink before work, and then the drink during work. Then it becomes the drink instead of work.

Unfortunately, this video takes place around 3:30pm-4:00pm. So it was towards the end of the school day when they pulled her into that room. I only noticed that when she made the claim that she last drank at 3:00am, which I was questioning the possibility of that having any effect on a breathalyzer test 5-6 hours later. Then I looked at the time stamp and saw how late in the day it was. She was at school all day and blew ~.24 BAC at the end of the day. That’s why everyone in the room, including the accused, is basically 100% confident that she has been drinking throughout the school day.
