A substitute teacher at a Pittsburgh high school is charged with endangering the welfare of children and drug violations after passing out in a heroin daze in front of a class of students.

Police says Christopher Chiappetta, 26, admitted to being high after school administrators found him snoozing in the arts class he was supposed to be overseeing and police found bags of heroin in his pocket and marijuana in his car, CBS Pittsburgh reports.

Chiappetta is being held on a $10,000 bail. He or any lawyer representing him have yet to comment since the arrest.
