Substitute Coleman Eaton Jr Charged With Urinating In Class

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- A substitute teacher at Riverdale Elementary School in Clayton County is charged with child molestation after students said he urinated into a trash can inside a classroom.

The teacher, 60-year-old Coleman Eaton Jr., appeared in court Thursday.

Channel 2's GA Daily News was in court and said a judge gave Eaton a $50,000 bond.

Eaton said it was apple juice that he was pouring in the trash can. But police said they have the evidence that proves it wasn't.

Jones talked to one parent who said her daughter saw the substitute zipping up his pants after the alleged act.

"I want the guy to never teach or be around kids again, parent Tika Carter said.

Riverdale police Maj. Greg Baey said Eaton reportedly walked to the back of the class on Wednesday, told the fourth-graders not to tu around and urinated into a garbage can. He said one of the students went to the school office and made a complaint.

Baey said officers went to the school and interviewed the students and Eaton, then placed him under arrest.

No one answered Jones went to Eaton's home looking for a comment.

"He didn't come across as somebody that would do something like that," said neighbor Marty Holder.
