He won’t be indoctrinating any of the youngsters at Windmill Point Elementary School, in Port St. Lucie, any longer. It’s amazing that they hired him in the first place. Police were astounded at what they found in the naked suspect’s classroom.
Naked teacher arrested
Police in Port St. Lucie, Florida, arrested a naked teacher at Windmill Point Elementary School on Thanksgiving night. Despite being employed at what should be a reasonably well paying job, 34-year-old Joe Urias found himself “homeless.”
Things are flipped around a little now because he’s jobless and living in a cell. He should have realized the school would have a security system installed.
When the silent alarm went off, it alerted Port St. Lucie police to a potential burglary in progress. The school was broken into but nothing was stolen or vandalized. Only defiled. A responding deputy spotted Urias inside one of the classrooms. Naked.
The grade-school teacher was surrounded by “a peculiar assortment of items including sex toys, women’s underwear, marijuana, some food and a laptop.” He apparently created “a makeshift bed” for himself “on the the classroom mat.”
When spotted, “he quickly got dressed and attempted to make a run for it.” The deputy relates that “I identified myself, I held both of my hands up and said ‘deputy sheriff, stop!’” Urias didn’t. The teacher babbled “no bro” and “tried to run through me.” It didn’t work.
“We tussled a little bit, he hit me right here in the lip, I hit him in the jaw and I was able to hold him with a jiu-jitsu seatbelt grip.” The intruder apparently left a window unlocked so he could climb through it when the building was empty.
Questions about intentions
Urias, who previously had been a teacher at Somerset College Preparatory Academy, told police he was living on the streets. What “he has been doing is teaching at his school and then hanging out at a Starbucks and then sleeping in the public wherever he can,” Deputy Holbert explained. “He knew this week that schools were out, so he was going to break into the school and stay there for the week.”
While that was a definite lapse of good judgment, and worth losing his job over, police know there’s got to be even more to his story. The “presence of marijuana and sex toys raised questions about his intentions.”
Separately, a former sheriff’s deputy and security expert Chad Ayers “speculated Urias’s behavior might have been influenced by drug use or perhaps a mental health crisis.” Not only that, “It’s highly unusual for someone under the influence of marijuana alone to exhibit this kind of erratic behavior.”
The teacher was apparently more whacked out than he seemed. “It’s possible there are other substances or deeper psychological issues at play.” Ones the school should have picked up on long ago. “It’s horrifying to think that someone who taught children could end up in this situation,” one parent commented on social media. “Schools need to do more to ensure our kids are safe.”
The school issued a statement on social media “emphasizing their commitment to student safety and outlining their hiring practices.” They have no excuse for hiring Urias as a teacher. “All prospective employees at our school undergo thorough background checks and screening conducted by the local school district.”
Apparently it’s not real thorough. “We will ensure that this individual does not return to our campus.” He was booked in on charges including “battery of a law enforcement officer, burglary, and lewd and lascivious behavior.“
