#Socialites, just come get in this! Somebody out here really looked at a Thursday morning and decided the move was to walk into a high school and start running a classroom. Police say a 23-year-old Wisconsin woman did exactly that, and the whole thing fell apart only because the students had enough sense to go tell on her.

Miss Amy L. Jones is accused of slipping into Rufus King International High School in Milwaukee on September 24, signing in as a sub, and taking over classes she had no business being near. According to the criminal complaint, Jones is a former Rufus King student, so she knew the building. Court filings say she allegedly told police she snuck in with students that morning, then headed to the front office, where she allegedly overheard staff talking about the agency the school uses for substitutes. She allegedly told the secretary she worked for that agency, and just like that, she was on the sheet.
Now here’s where the school got unlucky and she got what the complaint calls lucky. Eight teachers were out that day and only seven spots were filled, which left a hole for her to walk right into. In the words of the complaint, Jones “got lucky because there happened to be an unfilled position.” A real teacher even set up the classroom with her and stuck around about twenty minutes. Then that teacher left, and prosecutors say the act went left. Students told investigators she allegedly swapped the lesson for profanity, racial slurs and sexual comments, sorted the class by race and gender, and blasted rap music. Other reports say she allegedly asked whether anybody had weed or a vape, and that she went after kids over their weight, their looks and their money.

When police caught up with her, the explanation was almost too simple. Jones allegedly said she was bored, per the complaint, and also said she hates kids and wanted to mess around. One report adds that she allegedly snapped her fingers and danced at the idea of becoming famous. Another says she allegedly claimed she was okay with going to jail.
Police arrested Jones five days later at a West Allis mental health hospital, and FOX6 reported she has a history of mental illness. She now faces a count of impersonating a public employee along with multiple counts of exposing a child to harmful descriptions, though outlets disagree on whether that second number is four or five.
Court Commissioner Rosa Barillas set a $5,000 signature bond and ordered Jones to stay away from Rufus King and the students named in the complaint. These are allegations, and Jones has not been convicted of anything.
