You've got some slurred speech. That's like four times the legal limit. Do >> not come to school intoxicated. I'm not going to have you teach me anymore. >> On October 30th, 2024, Mosquo police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a substitute teacher who appeared intoxicated while working at an elementary school in Mosquo, Wisconsin. Staff raised concerns after noticing his behavior inside the building. Soon, what began as a safety check quickly turned into a criminal investigation. I think we're just wondering if you're under the influence of something and so we happen to have an officer here today. So, >> we just want to talk to you about that. >> With that all being said, currently you're not in trouble with me. Okay? So, I'm not detaining you or you're not under arrest. So, you are free to go. I I I love to express that to people because you should know your rights. You get what I'm saying there? >> Correct. >> Did you drink anything this morning, last night? Did you take any drugs, medication? Are you on Are you prescribed anything? >> No. No, no to everything. >> Oh, my friends last night. That was about it. >> Okay. You hung out with your friends. How How late did you hang out? >> And then I had So, normally I take like one of these like, you know, like these gummies. It's like, you know, melatonin. >> Yeah. >> So, I take one of those before I go to sleep. That's about it. But with my friends. >> Okay. What time did you take the melatonin? >> Well, I didn't sleep last night. I was on my phone the whole night. So, how many milligram was in the melatonin? Do you know? >> 10. >> 10 milligram. Do you normally take 10 milligram melatonin or? >> Yeah. I think one time the first time we actually bought it, I take it twice. I didn't know it was twice cuz I was the one that bought it. I had But um I mean, >> so it's a normal dosage for you. It's what I'm asking. Okay. When you take the melatonin, does it normally put you to sleep right away? It's supposed to put you to sleep after like 30 minutes, but sometimes it sit on my phone for a little bit and sometimes apparently when you look at it the screen time, it doesn't actually put you to sleep at a certain time. >> What time did you take the belt on it? Do you remember it? >> Only 11. >> 11:00 p.m. >> Okay. You didn't take anything else? >> No. >> You didn't drink anything? You appear like you're under the influence of something. Okay. I take melatonin every night, so I know that it's not just melatonin. Okay. I'm also a police officer. I've done many of investigations, many uh impairment investigations. >> This is my first time meeting you, but you've got some slur speech. You're bouncing around in your stories as you're talking to me when you're explaining certain things in different cities. And so, you're kind of bouncing around a little bit. Your eyebrows are cringed right now because I think you're trying to figure out what I'm saying to you. Okay. Is that fair? >> I mean, personally, I just kind of want to What's going on? >> Okay. So, what's going on is I think you're under the influence of something. So, I don't think you've necessarily been fully honest with me. I don't think it's just melatonin. Are you willing to do a breathalyzer? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Very important, awesome women in this room. >> Yeah, I am in there. I can't I can't speak for them. >> So, that's going to be for them. >> I see what's in the system and >> Okay, go ahead and blow. >> Thank you for that. >> I mean, if it's in my system, then it's in my system. So, system. >> Yep. Do you know the legal limit? >> Okay. You're 36. >> So, >> yeah. By quite a lot. >> So, >> okay. Um, again, you're not under arrested. I'm not going to arrest you. Okay. >> But you're under the influence. You're a three. That's like I mean if you did the math I'm not great at math but that's like four times the legal limit. >> I I >> Right. So you didn't sleep last night, you drank last night. >> That's probably why. And I also didn't eat last night. So >> but it >> it probably >> but it also is very very high and it's noon. >> So you should have gone down. So you said you didn't drink a lot a lot last night which leads me to believe one of two things. either a you're a functioning alcoholic and we can work on that and I can help you with that and I could give you numbers to call or two you didn't stop drinking until like >> 9 8 9 this morning. You were pounding until that point. So >> I was here before that. >> Okay. So 7 is that when you had your last drink? >> Well, I live in Jefferson, >> right? And you're at 36. So you drove all the way here. All right. So, my ride came my ride dropped me off here. >> Okay. So, your ride Okay. Thank God for that. Okay. Your ride drove you here, >> right? >> Did you have anything to drink while you're in the building? >> Correct. No. >> No. Okay. All right. So, your part with me is just about done. So, now I'm going to defer you >> to the administrator. Okay. >> Thank you for your honesty, dude. It goes a long way in my book. You are willing to blow. Goes a long way in my book. >> Okay. >> You're struggling with some stuff and that sucks, man. I feel for you. Um, >> but unfortunately I'm gonna pass pass the uh >> It's all right. All right. >> You know what? What would you like to >> Yeah. So, let's talk about that for a second. So, as you having been a past teacher know the importance of keeping kids safe, right? So, do you think that your body is in a place that we can keep kids safe knowing that you're under the influence of alcohol? >> You're going through some shit, man. It's >> It's not even that. It's more of just Yeah. So, I mean, um, yeah, throughout my life, I've been this like hot shot athlete and all that stuff and got money to go places and all this stuff. And I tried to like I was going like a Super Bowl weekend. I was going like a really insane like road. I was like, "Go." If there was only a husband, I tried to merge and when I merged, they they sound their bra. There's nobody in front of you. So, it's something to break and like my car hit their car and then so like any incident, get out of your car, pull over, put your asses on. >> Okay. So, let's let's pause. >> Want to be done with it. >> Love your commitment to your girlfriend and the four-year-old. that commitment is not going anywhere. Uh I think it'd be very wise for you to to to stay with that pack and maybe get some help for the the drinking, but right now the issue is is we need to focus on today. So the question was, do you think you can effectively and safely be in the building with kids today, being their gym teacher with knowing you just blew a 36? I mean, I believe I can, but like I also don't think that's the right decision because I feel like it's like a ultimatumish decision like cuz I Yes. Do I believe somebody's decision, but ultimately like there's policies and there's policies that have to be >> upon, >> right? You're a smart guy. You know that. I don't I don't I don't want to be Yeah. As as awesome as >> as awesome as a teacher I am, I don't want to be part of that policy. >> I know that you do. So, having been a teacher, right? Like you said, you worked in MPS, you said you worked in Portland. Like, like you know, you know how schools operate. You cannot come to school intoxicated and teach kids. Like, it's not safe. The two the two don't go together. So, like I'm I'm speaking on behalf of Bay Lane Elementary and actually on behalf of pretty much the whole school district of we will not allow teachers who come to school intoxicated to be with our kids. And so, at this point today, I'm just going to have to say to you, we're done. We're done here. I'm going to you're not under arrest, but I'm not going to have you teach anymore here today. In fact, I'm probably not going to have you teach here probably ever because I can't take that chance. And maybe another district will I don't know. But we'll let TOC know because that's part of how they operate because they're not you're not my employee, but I have to let them know my reason for letting me go today. >> This is my sergeant. Yep. This is Chris. >> Hi Chris. >> So Chris is a >> We're good. >> He's a teacher here. Um sub subbing for the day uh through some out program. Um there was signs of impairment. So they had me talk to him. Obviously, you could kind of see some of the impairment. >> Okay. >> Chris has been super cooperative. Um he did a breathalyzer. You heard the number. >> PBT. >> Uh yes, PBT. Sorry. Um the school has said he's obviously no longer welcome today. >> Um so that's the deal. >> Standby. >> Um so we're kind of trying to I I was looking to get him something, you know, like a ride somewhere or something. That was my thought. If you want to just maybe check on what the ride is if that >> Do you still live on? Is it 35th Street? >> No. >> No. Where do you live at? >> Uh 688 Fairway Circle, Jefferson, Wisconsin. >> Okay. And so you're like a substitute here today, correct? Like filling in. Okay. When did you last drink, Chris? >> Last night. >> I'm sorry. >> Last night. >> Okay. And then you drove here? >> No. >> How did you get to the school here? >> My mom. >> Who's coming to pick me up? Okay. Well, you're intoxicated is my understanding. And you're at a public place, so it's not good, >> right? So, we're trying to figure out like what the what what our best course is right now because >> can I just have my mom pick me up? Like I'm I'm not It wasn't my intentions at all. And >> it wasn't your intention to show up at a 030. Is that what you're saying? >> Correct. I I didn't sleep at all last. >> Okay. So like I just if if my mom's able to pick me up, like I just go home. Like I don't want to get in trouble. The thing is the one thing I can't do is get in trouble. >> Why is that? >> Cuz I do have a pending OWI >> that um that will kind of screw me >> and I don't want to be a part of it. >> Mainly because a couple like the two of the tickets that I got >> I didn't even do but the officers just didn't do their job. and I got blamed with it. And >> do you want to go to our place, boss? >> I would just I would just prefer to >> Yeah. Um, are we So >> I would just prefer >> Let's go. Let's go 80. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Can you do that for me? >> Yeah. Chris, you got a warrant. >> Easy. Yeah. You got >> Hand us your hand. >> Hands behind the back. >> Hold on. Let's take this off. >> Easy as possible. Chris, >> what? >> Cuz you got a warrant, bud. >> Did you miss maybe a court appearance or something? >> No, he's I got I told you. And this isn't even us right now. This is Milwaukee Sheriff. >> I'm not I'm into it. >> Can I make a phone call? >> Yeah, we'll be one step at a time. Chris, you stay cool. We'll stay cool. >> That's my one. >> Okay. >> Well, entrance is on fail or out on fail. >> You know, you know, you have this. [clears throat] >> So, you knew you had the warrant. You were talking to me. Well, no. I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about because I talked to mytorney and they were like a violation when I got when I got arrested in Walk. Fuck you. I got arrested in Walker and they were like saying saying they were saying >> Oh, like you >> last name T S O N first name Jeffrey. >> I mean, we can give her a phone call and let her know where we're going to end up. Okay. >> What did I do? You have a warrant. He showed up to work drunk. >> Why? One thing is why don't I have a warrant? >> Apparently, you didn't show up for court, man. >> Okay. >> Yeah. The more you start like tugging on it and stuff, it's going to be uncomfortable. >> So, what is this warning for? >> Something with Milwaukee County. >> I think it's it's with the cutting thing, but >> Okay. That sounds like Milwaukee County. >> So, my lawyer took care of it. My lawyer did. >> Then we'll find out. But this this really has nothing to do with us >> cuz they let me go. >> Okay. All right. So, >> Milwaukee sheriff said no. So, we're going to see what Milwaukee sheriff says, but we're going to get you out of the school setting right now. >> So, where am I where am I going right now? >> Mosquito Police Department. >> We can give mom a call. Let her know where we're going. Okay. I'm going to have you stand right here. Okay. >> All right. >> We're already like >> Yeah.
