Married Alabama lunch lady, 41, brought teen student home for sexual encounters: reports

A married Alabama lunch lady admitted to bringing a teen student to her home — twice — for sexual encounters, according to local reports.

Amy Nicole Wigginton, a 41-year-old Lauderdale County Schools employee, confessed to having sex with a male student under the age of 19 on March 7 and 31, according to court documents reviewed by WAAY TV.

Wigginton, who is married with children according to her Facebook, allegedly brought the young man to her family’s Rogersville home for the sexual encounters, according to the Daily Mail.

The lurid lunch lady owned up to the illegal dalliances when confronted by local police and waived her rights while being taken into custody earlier this week, according to court records reviewed by WAAY TV.

The name and age of the student were not specified by authorities, though Wigginton is not charged with having sex with a minor. She faces two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act, the court docs indicated.

The age of consent in Alabama is 16 years old.

The Lauderdale County Schools system consists of four high schools and seven elementary and middle schools, according to its website.

“The Lauderdale County Board of Education is aware of the allegations, and the employee has been placed on administrative leave,” the district said in a statement to WAAY TV.

“We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials, and have no further comment on this matter.”

Wigginton was arrested last week and booked at the Lauderdale County Jail. She is being held on $100,000 bond, WAFF reported.

Her arrest comes on the heels of headline-making Christina Formella’s, a married special education teacher in Illinois, who is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old male student.

She was nabbed on March 16, and footage released this week of her arrest went viral after she was seen breaking down upon hearing the charges she faced.

The 30-year-old wildly said later that she was being set up by her young victim — and targeted for being “good looking.”

Alabama hits home with plans for Tuscaloosa 2027 Edge on official visit

Alabama football hosted a hometown kid for an official visit last weekend when it got Jeremiah Beverley on campus for an official visit.

Beverley attends Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and ESPN currently has him rated as a four-star recruit. He is considering Alabama, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and others.

The Crimson Tide offered Beverley earlier this month and got him on campus for an official visit last weekend. The Alabama target told Touchdown Alabama he used the visit to learn what the Tide has planned for him if he commits.

“I’m truly happy that I went on that official visit,” Beverley said. “Blessed for that. All I was talking about was the next step, what I got to do? So, just knowing what they have planned for me, knowing what they have set for me.”

At 6-foot-2 and 235 pounds, Beverley makes plays for Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa as a defensive end. Alabama has plans to use him similarly at the next level.

“They’re going to have me at wolf mostly,” Beverley said. “I know coach (Kane) Wommack and coach (Christian) Robinson, I think they see me at other positions, but I know it is guaranteed they’re going to see me at Wolf and me working my way up on special teams, and they expect that out of me.”

Beverley is expected to announce a commitment decision on Friday.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach

Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills

PRICHARD, Ala. (NBC 15) — Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
