Teacher Accused Of Giving Teens Beer

By Kym Alvarado-Booth

POSTED: Friday, January 11, 2008

An alleged teen drunken driving incident led deputies to a teacher's home, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday.

Brazoria County sheriff's deputies said two teenagers, who were stopped on suspicion of drunken driving, told them they drank alcohol at teacher Robin Ater's home in Danbury.

"At the residence, we spoke to the homeowner and found beer cans and a receipt for beer bought earlier in the day," investigator Darrell Collins said.

Ater, 52, told police she bought the beer. Neither of the teens has said she bought the booze for them.

Detectives said there was enough evidence to charge her with class-A misdemeanor of furnishing alcohol to minors. She faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine if convicted.

"We're shocked," said Eric Grimmett, the head of Danbury's schools.

Grimmett said Ater, an eight-year employee of the small school district, will most likely be put on paid administrative leave.

Local 2 tried to contact Ater but a sign on her door specifically warned reporters not to trespass.
