A Florida teacher was arrested and fired from a $7,000-a-year private Christian school after she twerked on an 18-year-old boy at prom and pressured him to drink.
Julie Hoover, 39, was arrested on September 6 after she allegedly put the straw with an alcohol drink into a teenager’s mouth and dancing on him, according to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office.
Hoover was chaperoning prom at Point of Grace Christian School on April 8 when a student accused her of dancing on him.
A news release stated the student said that ‘each time he got onto or even near the dance floor, Julie Hoover came over to where he was dancing and began “twerking” on him (rubbing her buttocks on him).’
Other students were allegedly urging her to stop.
A school official confirmed to investigators there was alcohol stashed away at the dance for staff to consume after students left, WCTV News reported.
The former teacher faces two misdemeanor charges for distributing alcohol to a minor and for engaging in inappropriate conduct with a student.
Hoover was previously arrested in June for sexting with an 18-year-old senior. It is unclear whether the two incidents involve the same senior.
Point of Grace Christian School didn’t immediately respond to DailyMail.com for a comment.

An anonymous school official commented on Hoover’s first arrest but didn’t provide details of the accusations against the former teacher.
‘Mrs. Hoover is a former teacher with Point of Grace Christian,’ a school official told WCTV. ‘We will not provide further information on her employment or departure from our school.
‘The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office informed us of the allegations against Mrs. Hoover, and we have cooperated with the investigation. Out of respect for the judicial process, we will not comment any further at this time.’
Hoover’s first arrest on June 8 was after the mother of an 18-year-old reported to police that her son had explicit messages on his phone from the teacher.
The mother claimed Hoover was attempting to lure the teenager into her home while her husband was away.
At the time the messages were sent in March and April, the student was enrolled in a few classes Hoover taught.
She was released the day after her initial arrest on a $15,000 bond, according to WCTV News.

She was a mathematics teacher at the Christian school since 2018, according to People.com. Hoover previously worked at the Boys & Girls Clubs and as a finance director.
