    WHO TV: TEACHER ARRESTED: Charged With Sexual Abuse (June 10 2013)

    What makes parents here in this small community even more upset, [Derek John] Bates is a home-town boy, born and raised in Montezuma. He even graduated from the high school. Neighbors say Bates often spent time with young boys in his garage, but they figured he was just exercising with the kids ... Bates quit his job at the high school last year after admitting to drinking whiskey with a 17-year old in a classroom.

    Just wanted to make a note that he did not quit his teaching job, he HAD TO resign or be fired because he was caught drinking and supplying WHISKEY to a minor a student at the school on a Sunday evening. No one was in the school at the time. Just them in his class room. Bates was so drunk his family took him to the ER. The student was found on the side of the road passed out in his pickup truck.
