Substitute who reportedly bragged about outstanding traffic arrest warrant to her class is arrested.

April 26, 2008 - Jane Kodros, 50, a substitute teacher at Alton High School, was arrested after she reportedly told students Monday about an outstanding arrest warrant. They told their regular teacher when he returned the next day. Kodros was arrested during a second-hour class on Thursday at the school by the school resource officer.

Kudros says that allegations were stirred up by misbehaving students.
