Teacher Accused of 'Strip Poker' Won't Face Charges
Kootenai County prosecutors are not charging a private school teacher accused of playing a strip poker-like card game with young boys during a school camp trip because they can't find a state statute under which to charge him. This conduct, although alarming, does not seem to fit an Idaho crime, Chief Deputy Prosecutor Lansing Haynes wrote in an office report.
But the school principal who reported the allegation to police has been issued a citation for not acting fast enough. Coeur d'Alene Police ticketed Lake City Junior Academy Principal Twila Brown on Tuesday after a parent complained Brown didn't notify parents or police until nearly a week after she heard that teacher Andy Armstrong, 42, engaged five students in fifth and sixth grades in a game of Strip Dirty Hearts. The principal was cited under a provision of the Child Protective Act, which requires school officials and others to report suspected child abuse or neglect within 24 hours.
