A second-grade teacher in California was arrested for allegedly driving to school drunk and teaching students while her blood-alcohol level was still more than twice the legal limit, police said.
Wendy Munson, 57, was in the middle of teaching students at the Nuestro Elementary School on Monday when Sutter County Sheriff’s deputies showed up at 8:20 a.m. to arrest her, CBS 13 reports.

Deputies said they were called to the school about a staff member allegedly being under the influence.

Munson then failed a sobriety test.
There was also footage of the teacher driving to school in her inebriated state, the sheriff’s office said.


Officials noted that even after two hours passed from when deputies first approached Munson, her blood-alcohol level remained above twice the legal limit.

Baljinder Dhillon, the Nuestro Elementary School District superintendent, said in a letter to parents that once Munson was arrested, she was escorted out of the campus without further incident.
 
Holy crap! She was still twice above the legal limit after twoish hours in police custody. She must've had a lot of alcohol! Now that's pretty irresponsible!

An elementary school teacher in California will not face any charges after she was caught teaching while drunk, officials said on Monday.
Wendy Munson, 57, a second grade teacher at Nuestro Elementary School, north of Sacramento, was originally arrested on Oct. 2, 2023, on suspicion of DUI and child endangerment, according to the Sutter County District Attorney’s Office.


The DA’s office said, however, that while “it is highly inappropriate to teach while intoxicated, it is, unfortunately, not illegal.”

Investigators could not determine that Munson had driven to school while intoxicated, as opposed to drinking at the school, the DA said.
Prosecutors also determined the requirements for a child endangerment charge could not be met, as there was “no specific information indicating that the children in Munson’s class were placed in a position where their persons or health were endangered.”

The “mere potential” that a dangerous situation could arise is not enough to bring charges, the DA’s office said.

Munson is no longer listed as a staff member on the Nuestro Elementary School website, but it’s unclear whether she was fired or faced disciplinary action.
