MIAMI, Okla. –<\/p>\n
Former Miami High School principal Pamela Couch-Bevis is accused of giving a group of four male students a box containing a sex toy at the school, according to Miami police.<\/p>\n
Officers say the case involves four male students, all of whom were minors at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n
Police say the incident happened Aug. 25 when the students went to Couch-Bevis\u2019 office to retrieve the school\u2019s mascot costume.<\/p>\n
According to an affidavit, Couch-Bevis gave one of the students a box and repeatedly told him to open it. Police say the student eventually pulled a sex toy from the box.<\/p>\n
The students then reported the incident to their coach, according to investigators.<\/p>\n
Police say the sex toy had previously been found stuck to a wall in a boys\u2019 bathroom and was seized by Couch-Bevis the previous school year.<\/p>\n
During an Aug. 27 interview with detectives, Couch-Bevis acknowledged giving the student the box and described the incident as a joke, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
Police say Couch-Bevis told detectives there was no intent to do anything involving a student. She also said she may have intended to use the item as a white elephant gift.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, Couch-Bevis said the item had been placed in a box and stored in a closet in her office after it was found in the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Couch-Bevis was arrested facing charges of distribution or furnishing of obscene material to minors. <\/p>\n
