Flint Mother, Daughter Enter Pleas In Fake Substitute Teacher Case

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP (WWJ/AP) - A Flint woman accused of posing as her mother to work as substitute teacher in metro Detroit faces sentencing next month along with her mom.

Dayonlynn Bell, 24, and Donna Farley, 44, pleaded no contest Monday to charges of false pretenses in 51st District Court. The Flint women face up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.

Sentencing is March 16. A no contest plea isn't an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing.

According to a police, Bell used her mother's teacher identification last Monday while pretending to be a substitute teacher at Riverside Elementary School in Waterford Township. She was arrested after being confronted by school officials. Farley was later arrested while her daughter was being interviewed by police.

Authorities said Bell told them that she impersonated her mother because Farley didn't want to miss an appointment. Police said the women later told authorities that they needed money.
