A south Alabama teacher has filed a not guilty plea after she was arrested for allegedly giving a 4-year-old alcohol, according to court records.

The child left Collins Rhodes Elementary School in Prichard in late April with a blood alcohol content level near a deadly .300, as AL.com reported previously.

She was released from USA Children and Women’s Hospital two days later, according to her parents.

“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,” father Albert Singleton said previously.

“Then, when we return to get her and she’s in a state of close to death, that’s an uneasy feeling.”

Tracy Walker, 56, was arrested after officers opened an investigation into the incident on May 6, according to the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office.

A criminal complaint alleges Walker gave the child “ethanol, resulting in the child’s (blood alcohol content) approximately 3.5 times the legal limit which caused serious injury.”

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

Walker is on administrative leave from the Mobile County Public School System and faces an aggravated child abuse charge.

The not guilty plea, filed by her lawyer Devin Williams, has not been filed by reason of mental disease or defect, according to court records.

Walker, who has no prior criminal record, is free on $25,000 bond.

She must submit to drug and alcohol testing as a condition of her bail.

A preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled.
