A married substitute teacher was arrested in Nebraska after she was caught undressing in the back seat of a car with a teenage boy, according to authorities.
Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies identified Erin Ward, 45, on Saturday after they were notified of a suspicious car parked in a cul-de-sac around 10 p.m.
When they approached a gray 2015 Honda Pilot, police said they saw Ward and a 17-year-old boy in the backseat as she put her clothes back on.
The boy then jumped into the driver’s seat and fled the scene before crashing the vehicle about two blocks away and running away. Police found him more than an hour later wearing boxers, socks and a T-shirt.
