A public school teacher resigned after being arrested for robbery at a casino owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians in Alabama.

Clemente R. Brooks Sr. was a first grade teacher. He was charged with third-degree robbery and first-degree theft of property for a March 18 incident at the Wind Creek Casino and Hotel.

Doyle “Butch” Lee, the tribe's assistant police chief, said Brooks was seen on video taking a purse from an elderly woman in the parking lot.
