In a surprising turn of events, Kimberly Coates, the Oklahoma teacher who was arrested in August for allegedly showing up to school drunk, has found herself in legal trouble once again. This time, Coates was arrested for allegedly appearing intoxicated at the Payne County Courthouse, where she was scheduled to attend a hearing related to her previous public intoxication charge. Body camera footage captures Coates telling officers that she “didn’t understand” why she was being arrested, but she later admitted to having consumed a glass of wine before heading to the courthouse.

According to court documents, an on-duty deputy at the courthouse noticed Coates entering the building unsteady on her feet. The deputy observed that Coates had glazed eyes, slow and slurred speech, and smelled of alcohol. Despite her apparent intoxication, the deputy allowed Coates to attend her court appearance after processing her through security. However, the deputy continued to monitor Coates’ movements through surveillance video, noting that she had to use the railing and wall to steady herself as she made her way from the second to the third floor. Once Coates was finished in the courtroom, the deputy approached her and confirmed that she had admitted to drinking wine in the morning. Consequently, Coates was arrested for public intoxication, handcuffed, and taken to the Payne County Jail without incident.

this is pathetic
Does anyone have an update on this former teacher? My heart goes out to her for her struggle.
No where 8n the video do they ever read her, her rights.
Why didn't they read her, her rights? That should have been done before they ever got on the elevator.
This is one of the saddest cases of alcoholism I've ever seen. She lost everything including her morals. She's lied so often that it's become 2nd nature to her.
She is struggling feel very bad for her. I’m sorry you are going through this
She has a problem but that was bull that they didn't let her go and that jerk guy at the end being sarcastic
This is ridiculous, get her help.
This is just humiliating for her. Stop broadcasting her please, she needs help. People saying she wants to help herself, she will get help but she is so far gone into alcoholism that she needs one on one help. Throwing her in jail is no longer doing its purpose.
I feel so much empathy for her.
I was hoping she’d turn around, not being arrested again
Damn my uncle was once like this. Hope she gets help. Alcohol and drugs are sad
I feel sorry for her, but she acts like a child when she gets caught. She needs to grow up and accept responsibility.
2:43 “I don’t understand”.
Well, you wouldn’t when your brain is mush.
Her inability to take responsibility for ANY of her actions (including the last video of her) is asinine.
Omg is this the same woman that had a wreck on the way to work/school?
They say 99% of alcoholics have childhood trauma. She now appears on Facebook with her son looking sober, healthy, happy, and beautiful. I don't know why she was made an example of.
There’s another video on this channel of her being arrested at the school for the same thing! Unbelievable.
i feel pitty for her…she can't help it
I really feel sorry for her 🙁 , hope she gets free from this horrible desease , I saw her first case months ago and makes me sad to see her intoxicated again, hope she gets better 🙏🏼
Lady you said in the morning last time and you got arrested give it up
She is indeed in the grip of severe alcoholism. Im glad to hear she is in treatment – I pray it works. I feel for her.
It warms my heart that no one's talking smack about her in the comments, rather recognize that alcohol dependency is a developed and even heredity disease.
If she was a punk, I'm sure there wouldn't be as much sympathy, but because she just seems so broken down, the compassion towards these occurrences show there's still so much hope for humanity.
I feel bad on her and her family
Thing is what alcoholics or drug addicts dont always realise is that there actions effect the family just as much it effects them.
I feel sorry for her because since she is alcohol dependent if she doesn’t have some alcohol in her system she is going to go through withdrawal. A doctor could have prescribed benzodiazepines to help her through withdrawal and she could have shown up to court not intoxicated. Then again, it’s also possible she would just use the drugs and alcohol together which would be really dangerous. I’m not sure what alternative she had except getting totally clean before the court date and that just isn’t realistic.
Our court systems are intoxicated Leave her alone.
I really hope she's doing better now.
Here she goes again….. Geez
If they ever do a movie about her life, Helen Mirren would be the perfect actress
I'm an alcoholic, fortunately I've been sober for over two years, I showed up at work drunk, I drank at work, I also went to the police under the influence of alcohol when I testified. I understand this woman, she is sick, I hope she will find help like me.
stuff like this should not be broadcasted…
I rarely say things like this, but I honestly think that this lady is really hurt. I just hope she gets the help that she needs because she’s gonna wind up getting in worse trouble than she’s already in.
This is the second video I've seen of this woman she really needs help
She just can’t grasp that coming to court hammered is a crime !
Feel sorry for her. She's got a drinking problem
It's like watching my brother in law about the same thing
I lost my dad to alcoholism and my brother is going the same way. Watching this lady is very sad, she’s clearly in a desperate way, I feel for her husband as this affects the whole family
Mannnnn. Poor woman. Teaching takes a huge toll on your mental health (not to mention Oklahoma being near dead last in the country for education) and there's no excuse for showing up drunk to both court and school. but to have it broadcasted twice is just, ugh. I can't imagine. Glad she's finally getting help.
This is the same lady from their other video! Alcoholism is a vicious beast. I really hope she has help now. :-/
her glass of wine was a big gulp
This type of punishment is not helpful for this lady. She needs help.
i feel bad for her husband. from an alcoholic with a little over a year sober- its the ones around us that we love that we hurt the most through our addiction.
hope this lady finds her personal rock bottom or finds the right help. it took personal rock bottom for me and im still far from perfect and just a slip away from this.
You mean drunk karen
she want's to keep saying she doesn't understand…….let that sink in. she understands trust me, she just doesn't give a …..
