A Florida substitute teacher has been dramatically fired and arrested after a shocking classroom meltdown in which she allegedly called herself a 'million-dollar prostitute', twerked in front of horrified students, and grabbed a teenage girl by the neck.
Angela Faith Jourdan, whose wild outburst left pupils terrified, was hauled out of Lake Minneola High School in Minneola, Florida, in handcuffs on Monday after the disturbing incident.
The Lake County School District wasted no time axing her, confirming her employment – which only began on February 4, 2025 – was terminated the same day.'Good afternoon. We are aware of the arrest. Parents have been notified,' the district said in a statement.
According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Jourdan made a series of jaw-dropping explicit remarks to students, including propositions of sexual activity and brazenly referring to herself as a 'million dollar prostitute'.Deputies say she was also caught twerking wildly in the classroom while yelling and slamming her hands on a desk in a fit of rage.
One female student told investigators she was attacked as the class bell rang and pupils were leaving. 'As the bell rang and students began exiting, [the girl] stated she was among the last to leave when Ms. Jourdan yelled at her, called her a derogatory name, and placed her hands on [the girl's] head and the back of her neck before moving her hand toward [the girl's] throat,' the police report states.
A school resource deputy rushed to the classroom around 10:20 a.m. and found Jourdan 'yelling incoherently'.Assistant Principal Pannett reportedly entered and ordered her to gather her belongings and leave – but Jourdan refused, telling officers she 'did not want to be Tasered'.Bodycam footage obtained by News 6 shows the substitute frantically arguing with deputies as they tried to remove her.'I am not a threat and I will not be killed,' she ranted. 'I already got tased by the police in Pine Hills and I double-dare you.''You thought that was a weapon, right? Then you’re gonna say I was a threat,' she added defiantly.She was eventually handcuffed and escorted from the building.
The report notes Jourdan has a history of bipolar disorder and her erratic behavior suggested she may have been suffering a 'mental health episode'.She now faces misdemeanor charges including disorderly conduct, simple battery, and two counts of disruption of a school function.
Lake County school board chair Bill Mathias said he was alerted immediately and praised the students' mature response.'That was very moving to me,' he said, noting that pupils appeared to react with sensitivity, suspecting it could be linked to mental health issues.
