Walker Valley High Teacher Resigns And Her Deputy Husband Is Reprimanded After Texting Love Triangle With Student
A love triangle involving a student at Walker Valley High School has resulted in the resignation of a teacher and the reprimand of her deputy husband.
Bradley School officials say in August Nina Thurman was forced to resign her teaching post after it was revealed she had been innapropriately texting one of her male students.
Flash forward to this month. Thurman's husband, Bradley County deputy Jamie Thurman admitted to searching through the cell phone of a Walker Valley High Student.
Thurman was meeting with the Explorer's Club, a form of boy scouts, inside the Bradley County Sheriff's Department. Thurman suspected one of the boys had been texting with his wife.
According to Sheriff Tim Gobble, Thurman admitted to going through the boys phone looking for evidence.
District Attorney Steve Bebb says this action could be considered an illegal search, but not a crime.
Gobble says there is no evidence that there was anything more going on between Nina Thurman and her student then thousands of innapropriate texts.

My heart goes out to Jamie. He is a wonderful deputy as well as a person. I can only imagine how hard this is on him. He was only doing what he is best at and trained to do - gathering evidence!! I would probably do the same thing myself!

I know this deputy personally and he is a fine, upstanding citizen. Please do not hold this against him. If I were in his shoes I would have done the same thing.

I went to Walker Valley
and I personally knew Mrs. Thurman and the student that all of this happened to and my mind is blown. I texted/called MY teachers, but nothing ever inappropriate, only asking for help with homework and subjects/deadlines that they would know.
