A former Connecticut high school teacher awaiting sentencing over a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student has been arrested again after allegedly threatening to kill one of her accusers.
Police say 32-year-old Danielle Watkins of Norwalk was arrested Friday. She was first arrested in July, accused of having sex with one student at Stamford High and giving marijuana to another. Police say she threatened one of the victims at a doughnut shop Friday.
Watkins pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor last month under a deal with prosecutors. The agreement calls for her to serve between nine months and four years in jail.
Watkins' attorney Rob Serafinowicz told The Hour of Norwalk his client's new arrest is 'an unfortunate turn of events.'
Watkins allegedly ran into the student she was accused of giving marijuana to and attacked him for ruining her career, according to the The Hour.
She screamed, that she 'will not rest until you and (the teen she had sex with) are dead'.
The teenager was so rattled by the encounter that he and his mother made the complaint to police in Norwalk and Watkins was arrested for violating an order to stay away from her victims.
Violating that order which commands her not to 'assault, threaten, abuse, follow, inter with or stalk' the vicitms is a felony and punishable by five years behind bars.'
Watkins is currently being held on a $25,000 cash bond.
In December, the Connecticut high school English teacher pleaded guilty to felony charges related to a sexual relationship she carried on with an underage student.
