Gun-Toting Teacher Facing Big Trouble

Remember my post of earlier this month about a Santa Ana teacher who got arrested after two kids looking for school supplies in her classroom cabinet found a gun and ammo instead?

Well just yesterday said teacher -- one Jayne DeArmond, 51, who headed (it's probably safe to say previously headed, considering) a third-grade class at Diamond Elementary School -- was charged with two felonies, according to the LA Times.

My-Thuan Tran writes in a brief that DeArmond is facing "one felony count of possession of a firearm on school grounds and one felony count of child endangerment by a caretaker. She was scheduled to be arraigned today. If convicted, she could face up to six years in prison."

Uh-oh.
