CLEARCREEK TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- A Warren County woman sent to jail for allowing teens to drink in her home is now out on appeal.

Mary Ellen Hause, of Clearcreek Township, was a substitute teacher's aid in Springboro, Ohio.

A school resource officer reviewing students' Facebook Internet accounts came across a photo of three students holding open containers of alcohol, NewsChannel5's sister station WCPO reported.

Hause was also in the picture.

A judge sentenced her to 30 days in jail, but she is out after serving two weeks while her attorney appeals the sentence.

Sgt. Don Wilson said he was shocked when he noticed the adult in the picture was Hause, because of her role as a substitute in the district.

"You've got an adult posing with the kids and all of them had open containers," said Wilson. "And the second thing that bothered me, was she did work for a school and had exposure around kids a lot."

Wilson said he checks Facebook accounts for students causing problems that could trickle into the school.

Springboro police said they found several photos of a group of teens drinking in Hause's basement.

She said they were there because they're friends with her son.

Two of the teens testified that they brought the Smirnoff bottles and Sparks alcoholic energy drink into Hause's home and they said Hause sat with them as they played a drinking game.

Hause testified, "I went downstairs and I saw the kids down there. I sat on the couch and the girls -- they know me because of working at the school -- they all jumped in my lap. And I did take the picture and I didn't notice anything right away."

Hause testified that as soon as she saw the alcohol, she told everyone to leave.
