Alabama teacher arrested after 4-year-old leaves school with near fatal blood alcohol level

A south Alabama teacher has been arrested after a child left school with a blood alcohol content level near a deadly .300.

On April 28, a 4-year-old was picked up by her parents and taken to USA Children and Women’s Hospital after the child was acting lethargic and was “limp like a noodle”, according to her father.

After conducting tests it was determined the child had a blood alcohol content level of .286. The child was released from the hospital after two days.

According to the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, Tracy Walker was arrested for the incident after opening an investigation into the incident on May 6.

The agency said that during an interview with the child she said her teacher gave her a drink, “that made her feel sick.”

Investigators also talked to medical professional, teachers and family members of the child.

Walker has been charged with aggravated child abuse, according to jail records.

Albert Singleton has told AL.com that when he and his wife, Mary Singleton, arrived to pick their daughter up from school she was carried out to them.

Singleton said this occurred at Collins Rhodes Elementary School in Prichard.

“We’ve never had any problems like that at that school and I personally dropped my daughter off and see her walk in with good spirits and good health. Then, when we return to get her and she’s in a state of close to death, that’s an uneasy feeling.”
