A shocking case has emerged after police arrested a school teacher who allegedly drove drunk for nearly seven hours straight, clocking in at three times the legal alcohol limit.
Authorities say the teacher was first spotted swerving across lanes on a rural highway late in the afternoon. After multiple 911 calls from concerned drivers, officers finally intercepted the vehicle, which had been on the road for hours without stopping.
Bodycam footage shows officers approaching the SUV with caution as the driver, visibly impaired, struggled to respond to basic commands. Breathalyzer results later confirmed the teacherβs blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was almost triple the legal threshold, raising serious concerns about how the driver managed to stay on the road so long without causing a major accident.
Police described the incident as βa disaster waiting to happen,β noting that the suspect had passed through multiple towns and busy intersections before being stopped. Luckily, no crashes or injuries were reported.
The teacher now faces serious DUI charges, including reckless endangerment and potential loss of teaching credentials. The case has already sparked outrage among parents and community members, many of whom are questioning how someone in charge of children could engage in such dangerous behavior.
Online, the story has gone viral, with many calling it a wake-up call about drunk driving and accountability for those in positions of trust.
