SHELBY TOWNSHIP (AP) - A teacher who liked to play slot machines has pleaded no contest to embezzling money from student activities at a suburban Detroit school.
Lydia Johnson was a Spanish teacher at Dakota High School and must repay $30,000 to the Chippewa Valley school district. WXYZ-TV says she'll be placed on probation and must get help for a gambling problem.
Authorities say records at MGM Casino show Johnson spent more than $90,000 playing penny slot machines.
The school district placed her on leave in May.
