California Teacher Avoids Charges Despite Allegedly Teaching While Drunk

Prosecutors struggled to find applicable charges for Wendy Munson, who had a BAC over twice the legal limit in class.

  • Wendy Munson, a second-grade teacher, was arrested for allegedly teaching while intoxicated.
  • Despite her high blood alcohol level, the district attorney could not find charges that would hold.
  • The DA's office stated it's not illegal to teach while drunk, though it is inappropriate.
  • Proving Munson drove to school drunk or endangered students was deemed unfeasible.
  • Munson is no longer listed as a teacher at Nuestro Elementary School.
