Florida Principal and Teacher Arrested After Hosting Underage Party with Alcohol and Drugs

Authorities discovered over 100 teens consuming alcohol and marijuana at the principal's home, where both educators allegedly failed to intervene.

  • Police responded to noise complaints at the home of Roosevelt Elementary School principal Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, finding over 100 minors drinking alcohol and using marijuana.
  • Hill-Brodigan and third-grade teacher Karly Anderson, who was intoxicated at the scene, were arrested and charged with child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
  • Students claimed these parties occurred monthly, with alcohol and marijuana readily available, and that Hill-Brodigan made no serious effort to stop the event.
  • Videos from the party showed a masked juvenile handling a firearm, and police reported fights and other dangerous behavior among attendees.
  • Both educators have been placed on administrative leave as the school district cooperates with the investigation, with officials condemning the incident as a failure of leadership.
