MIAMI, Okla. (KOKH) \u2014 An Oklahoma high school principal has been charged with a misdemeanor after she says a joke on a group of students went wrong. <\/p>\n
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, detectives were called to Miami High School on Aug. 26 regarding an incident involving four minors and a school administrator.<\/p>\n
The day before, investigators say four students at Miami High School went to the principal’s office to retrieve a mascot costume for an upcoming football game.<\/p>\n
The affidavit states that Miami High School Principal Pamela Couch-Bevins gave the boys a Nabisco Assorted Cookie Box with tissue paper and a sex toy inside.<\/p>\n
“Upon learning of the report, I was told that the defendant provided the box and even instructed one of the victims to remove the [sex toy] from the box,” the affidavit states.<\/p>\n
Officials say the sex toy was seized by Couch-Bevins last year after it was found stuck to the wall in the boy’s bathroom.<\/p>\n
Afterward, the teens told a coach, who then alerted school security about the incident.<\/p>\n
Immediately, Miami Public Schools placed Couch-Bevins on paid administrative leave as the investigation began. <\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, the victims told detectives they believed the principal knew what was in the box and that it wasn’t an accident.<\/p>\n
“Victim 2 stated they were all in shock because they were not expecting their principal to have that. Victim 2 also stated that he thought the defendant knew what was in the box because she laughed about it,” the affidavit states.<\/p>\n
When speaking with Couch-Bevins, she admitted to detectives that she made “a poor choice in making a joke.” <\/p>\n
Couch-Bevins reportedly said there was never any intent to use the sex toy, especially with a student. Instead, the affidavit states the principal said she was considering using it was a white elephant gift. <\/p>\n
According to court records, Couch-Bevis has been charged with a misdemeanor charge of outraging public decency\/ acts resulting in gross injury.<\/p>\n
