A former Oklahoma high school coach allegedly gave underage students tattoos on camera.
Police charged Alissa Lloyd, 35, with unlawful tattooing, a misdemeanor, after she allegedly gave tattoos to two girls who knew her through her former position as a girls basketball coach and teacher at Moore High School in Moore, Oklahoma. The alleged incident occurred in April, and according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by local Fox affiliate KOKH, video captured the illegal tattoo session.
Police said the two girls arrived at Lloyd’s home for a visit on April 3 and left with permanent ink.
Local ABC affiliate KOCO reported that police found tattoo equipment at Lloyd’s home after executing a search warrant. According to the affidavit, the equipment matched what Lloyd allegedly used to tattoo one of the girls.
A spokesperson from Moore Public Schools confirmed to KOKH and KOCO that Lloyd was no longer employed with the school after resigning.
The spokesperson said in a statement, “Moore Public Schools learned of an allegation concerning a former coach in the spring. They were immediately removed from their duties and chose to resign. MPS follows state law with any allegation brought to our attention. The safety and security of Moore Public Schools’ students and employees is our foremost concern.”
The Norman Police Department arrested Lloyd, and she posted her $1,000 bond. She is due to appear in court on Oct. 16 for her arraignment.
