Police: teacher stole from school, put the goods on E-Bay

ENDICOTT, N.Y. An upstate school teacher was arrested today, accused of stealing instructional materials from her school and putting the stolen items for sale on the E-Bay Internet auction site.

Authorities say Jo-Ann Peters apparently had been stealing items from the L-W West School in the Union-Endicott School District for several months.

State police executed a search warrant at the teacher's town of Owego home this morning and found a large quantity of things from the school.

An investigator said police discovered instructional materials, a computer and a camera in the residence. He said the stolen property was valued at more than a thousand dollars.

I personally know Mrs. Peters, and I just have to say that she is a WONDERFUL person, and hse would NEVER do this. As mentioned at http://forums.pressconnects.com/viewtopic.php?t=3467, Mrs. Peters was most likely contacting her lawyers and family memebers immediately following the incident, NOT the media, resulting in a one-sided story. Having heard her side of the story (but not being at liberty to tell it) she is most obvoiusly innocent!
