Shocking police bodycam images conquered the moment a married teacher realized that she was being arrested for the alleged rape of one of her 15-year-old students.
Christina Formella, 30, was arrested earlier this month during a traffic stop after reporting a young student on Downners Grove South High School in Chicago.
In newly released images, Formella was seen by the police when she was sitting in her car next to her husband and college -Michael.
The teacher seemed confused when an officer walked to her window and ordered her to get out and said, “I know you're confused, I'll explain everything to you.”
“Is she going somewhere?” Asked her husband and led the agent to ask her to pick up her possessions and walk to the back of the vehicle.
Formella became gray when the officer explained that she was the subject of a 'investigation' and realized that she had not been persuaded for a routine traffic stop.
The teacher looked stunned when the officer ordered her to set up handcuffs and told her that she would be interviewed at the station and tell the agent: “I'm so scared now.”
“You can't even tell me what this is about?” she asked.
