Ugh.. yeah, my sister encountered one like that back in her high school days. The assistant principal was a real piece of work, and as the OP said, a grade A bitch. Setting the story:
My sister was in middle school at the time. During gym class, a girl's $2 el cheapo ring vanished. She immediately accused someone in the class of taking her ring. Naturally, all the kids denied it. Threats were made, stern warnings, the usual spiel, and the assistant principal is called.
Her solution?
Make all the kids in class (all girls fortunately) unbutton their pants and drop them to their thighs and turn their pockets out. The principal then proceeded to pat down each pocket to try and find the ring. It wasn't found. Where was it?
The middle of the gym floor. That's right, our accuser had dropped it when it slipped off her finger playing volleyball.
No search for it had been conducted prior to accusing the rest of the class of theft, and the teacher nor the principal thought to have a look around first before treating the students like criminals. Needless to say, lawyers got involved and there was a class action suit filed. A settlement was made and that principal isn't at the school any more.
