A Rancho Pico Junior High School teacher that allegedly showed up to campus drunk and with a taser has been charged.

On Wednesday, teacher Emilee Renison, 27, from Santa Clarita, was charged with one misdemeanor count each of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death, driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol content, possessing or consuming an alcoholic beverage on school property and weapons on school ground, a taser, and plead not guilty, said Ricardo Santiago, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

On Monday, April 19, deputies responded to Rancho Pico Jr. High School on the 26200 block of Valencia Boulevard in Stevenson Ranch regarding a teacher possibly intoxicated, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station at the time of the arrest.

“Deputies arrived on scene and detained a female adult, later confirmed to be the suspect as she returned to campus in her vehicle,” Arriaga said.

Deputies conducted field sobriety tests on the teacher and determined she was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, according to Sheriff’s officials.

“During a search of her property, deputies located an open alcoholic container and a taser,” Arriaga said.

Renison is due back in court on Friday, June 24 for a pretrial hearing.
