A Nebraska substitute teacher was caught naked in a car with a teen student — who tried to flee but crashed and ran from the scene in his underwear, cops said.
Erin Ward, 45, was scooped up Saturday night after she was found in the buff with a 17-year-old male student from the Omaha high school where she taught, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.
Police caught up with the married sub after receiving a call about a suspicious car parked on a dead end at about 3 a.m. that night.
Deputies found two people in the backseat, WOWT reported, before the panicked teen scrambled to the front seat and took off driving.
About two blocks later, he wrecked the car before running into the night.
Ward remained at the scene dressing in the back of the car and allegedly confessed to having sex with the boy.
She had an ID from Omaha Public Schools with her, and admitted to substituting at various schools including Burke High School, where the boy was later identified as a student, KLKN reported.
He was found later that night hiding in a yard wearing only underwear and a T-shirt.
The car they were found in belonged to Ward and her spouse.
Ward was charged with felony sexual abuse by a school employee.
