The Ol' Camera On The Shoe Routine

New Mexico education officials to investigate former teacher charged with voyeurism

The state Public Education Department says it will investigate a former Lavaland Elementary School third-grade teacher charged with felony voyeurism.

New state laws could ensure he never teaches again.

Christopher Lucero, 24, was arrested on July 16 after Albuquerque police say he stalked and videotaped girls using a camera on his shoe over the weekend in Cliff's Amusement Park.

Teach Puts Child In Storage Room

Teacher who put child in storage on leave

A Rio Rancho, N.M., teacher accused of putting a student in a storage room has been placed on leave, although the child's mother wanted her arrested.

Tanya and George Griego said their 13-year-old son has severe anxiety disorder, attention deficit disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

They described the room he was left in as a large supply closet, although a school spokeswoman told the newspaper it has also been used as a classroom.

The room's door is difficult to open and the boy thought he was locked in, George Griego said.
