President Donald Trump pardons the Chrisleys — what we know about Todd's release According to court documents, 42-year-old Maynor Tecum-Tecum was stopped by Mobile County Sheriff's Office deputies for a traffic violation. During that stop, officers suspected Tecum-Tecum was not a U.S. citizen and reached out to the United States Border Patrol. USBP confirmed that the man had been deported in 2010, and said he had already been convicted of illegal reentry that year, court documents said. Tecum-Tecum was sentenced to time served, having been in custody since his arrest Feb. 18, and a one-year term of supervised release, according to a news release from the United States Attorney's Office Southern District of Alabama. He was also ordered to pay $100 in special assessments. Tecum-Tecum will be referred to immigration officials to begin deportation proceedings. The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that uses the full resources of the Department of Justice to reduce the number of illegal immigrants entering the country, eliminate cartels and transnational criminal organizations and protect communities from violent crime criminals, the release said.

The allegations against the teacher came up when the student's parents took her to the hospital on April 28 after they picked her up, and she was extremely ill, Mobile County sheriff's deputies told the TV stations. The teacher pleaded not guilty on May 27 after waiving arraignment, according to court documents, per WKRG.

She could not stand up without assistance." The sheriff's office was also told about previous complaints made about the woman, Parsons said, but he did not divulge what the complaints were about, WMPI reported. In a statement obtained by WMPI, the Mobile County Public School System said: "We take all allegations seriously. The teacher was placed on administrative leave when this allegation was first made. We have been cooperating with law enforcement on the investigation, and we will continue working with them." Jonathan Limehouse covers breaking and trending news for USA TODAY.
