Beard, 34, was charged with endangering the welfare of children and corruption of minors, police said. Court records show she also was charged with body piercing of a minor.
According to Carroll Township Police, on April 16, Beard took a “handful” of students into a project room, and left the rest of the students in the classroom. Chief Sean Kapfhammer said a student with a piercing kit was then allowed to pierce Beard’s left ear three times and then pierce another student’s belly button.
Police said Beard paid the student $20 and gave her a homemade necklace as payment for the piercings. Beard then told the students, “What just happen(ed) here does not leave the room,” according to charging documents.
