At least this time it wasn’t sex with a student, it was stealing from students.

That’s right a P.E. Teacher, Steven Simmons, 49, was busted for stealing from the students lockers.











Apparently over at North Marion High School there has been a problem for some time now with students having money stolen from their lockers.

Well some of the students decided they were sick and tired of being robbed at school and they decided to take some action and hopefully put a stop to the criminal activities taking place in the locker room.

The students’ actions paid off.

The students set up a cell phone video camera in the locker room with the hopes of catching the thief red handed.

And it wasn’t long after the camera started recording that they caught their very own P.E. teacher stealing from their lockers.

Within a matter of minutes after the students reviewed the tape, they were texting pictures of Steven Simmons in the act of stealing their money.

One student said the text messages and video clip was going around the school like crazy.

Soon after everyone in school (it seems) had a copy of the pictures/video the students turned the video over to the school resource officer.

The deputy took quick action and questioned Steven Simmons and of course as with any other criminal, he denied the accusations that he had been stealing from the students’ lockers.

But because the students were able to capture him on video, the police showed Simmons the video and then of course there was nothing else he could say except I’m guilty.

Simmons confessed to breaking into the lockers and stealing money for years from the students.

Simmons stole about $400.00 so far this year. There was no overall total posted of how much he stole over the years.

Pretty crappy pay out don’t you think, I think if I was going to ruin my career to be a thief, I think I would have to have a lot more than 400 bucks. I
For some reason to me 400 bucks just doesn’t seem to be worth it to me, but who am I to say. LOL..

Simmons has been employed with the Marion County Schools for 25 years with nothing negative in his employee file.

Co-Workers of course were very surprised that Simmons was the one responsible for all of the student’s money disappearing while at school.


A spokesman for Marion County Schools said Simmons has nothing negative in his employee file after

Now on the flip side of this video, the school officials made a public statement that they were not allowed to record video in the locker rooms because of privacy.
And right now they are not saying anything about what the repercussions could be for the students responsible for video recording the locker room.

I personally think the school would have to have a policy in place that state a student cannot record video in the locker rooms before they could take any action. It really does not matter what the school policy states, the students were no acting as an agent of the school.

The students were fed up with being robbed while at school.

Anyway, this could become a mess for cell phones in school. It would be interesting to know what the school policy states about cell phones in general in school.

Anyway, I think the students responsible for this should get a pat on the back.
Good job Guys (and Gals)

It’s about time we stand up and unite and let criminals know they are not going to be allowed to make us a victim of a crime any more.
