Raise pay or 'burn alive,' Dallas ISD teacher warned staff, police say

A Dallas ISD teacher has been charged with making terroristic threats after police say he sent a series of strange and aggressive emails warning staff that they would "burn alive."

Omar Alanis, 29, admitted to district police that he sent the emails from his district-issued email account to school staff demanding that he and another teacher receive "Master Teacher Salary" and also receive back pay from August 2016, according to his arrest warrant affidavit.

A man with that name is listed as a social studies teacher at Seagoville High School, and the victim listed in the document shares a name with that school's principal.

A school district spokeswoman could not be reached for comment to confirm where the suspect taught or whether he was still employed by the district.
