Flomaton Teacher Accused Of Robbing Two Elderly Women Resigns
April 24, 2014
The Alabama teacher arrested in March in an alleged purse snatching incident has resigned.
The Escambia County (AL) School Board voted during a special meeting Tuesday to accept the April 21 resignation of Clemente Renard Brooks, Sr., a fifth grade teacher at Flomaton Elementary School.
Brooks, 52, was charged by the Poarch Creek Tribal Police with third degree robbery and first degree theft of property. He was booked into the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton.
Butch Lee, assistant chief of the Poarch Creek Tribal Police, said after the March 20 arrest that Wind Creek Security reported a purse snatching in the casino parking lot about 9:30 p.m. on the previous day. Two elderly females reported they were leaving the casino when they were approach from behind by a black male in the parking lot. The suspect allegedly grabbed a purse from one of the elderly women and then wrestled with the second victim but was unable to take her purse away from her. The suspect then fled on foot.
Lee said the victims were able to identify the suspect and video surveillance from the casino led to Brooks’ arrest.
Brooks surrendered himself to Poarch Creek Tribal Police on Wednesday. Lee said the victim’s purse was recovered but was missing $400.
Brooks is als former Flomaton Town Council member. He made an unsuccessful bid for Flomaton mayor in 2012, losing by 20 votes to incumbent Dewey Bondurant.

When they let him resign he now can apply for other teaching jobs. When new employer checks on him the school will say he resigned. What the state needs to do is revoke his teaching certificate/license
