Schultz was charged May 25 with two counts of felony stalking and a count of contributing to the deliqunency of a minor after sending the teenage boy a series of explicit messages via Facebook.

According to the criminal complaint in the case, Facebook messages from Schultz to the student became progressively more graphic and culminated with a photo of her completely naked.

In a post-arrest interview, Schultz told police she did not recall sending the student the photo or texting him. She chalked up the alleged behavior to being "really drunk."  

Hennepin County Sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant on Schultz's home and vehicles on June 12.
