A Spanish teacher at Manvel High School has been accused of being drunk on campus and kissing one of his students, according to school officials.
Cesar Flores, 34, was arrested about 8 a.m. Monday at the school at 19601 Texas 6, near Texas 288, after his students alerted campus police that he appeared intoxicated and had kissed a young woman in class, said Shirley Brothers, spokeswoman for the Alvin Independent School District.
Brothers said Flores is charged with public intoxication and assault by contact.
Flores, who was completing his first year at the school, was arrested and will no longer be a teacher with the district because of the allegations, Brothers said. Prior to the accusations, he already had resigned from the district effective June 5.
Brothers said that Cesar's students in a Spanish II class for 10th and 11th graders told district police that they thought their teacher was acting inappropriately and seemed to be drunk.
They said he tried to kiss a student on her head, but the young woman moved away and he kissed her on her back.
"The good thing is the kiddos noticed something was wrong and reported it," Brothers said. "We're proud of the youngsters for reporting something was wrong."
