Bodycam: Teacher Arrested at School for ‘Drunkenness’ After Alcohol Was Smelled on Her Breath

Body camera footage captures the arrest of an elementary school teacher in Oklahoma for public intoxication after she appeared to be drunk inside her own classroom. Jennifer Davis, the teacher in question, was found by Tecumseh police with red, glassy eyes and slurred speech when they sat down with her at 8:45 a.m. on September 7th. Despite blowing a 0.066 on a breathalyzer test, which is under the legal limit for driving, Davis' behavior raised serious concerns about her ability to properly care for and teach young students.

In the footage, Davis can be heard pleading "Please don't do this," and offering to resign while asking for her sister to come get her. She claimed to have only had a glass of wine the night before, and denied drinking anything on the day of her arrest. However, the evidence of her inebriated state during school hours was impossible to ignore for the responding officers.

“No obvious signs” She failed the field sobriety test *hard*, and likely drove to school above 0.08.

While I agree with most of your post, I have to nitpick part of it. The officer talks about the results of the eye test, which is the part of the test you don't have any conscious control over, and at least according to him, her eyes were all over the place. Granted, the reason the eye test is so foolproof is that even a little bit heavily affects nystagmus. I think that's probably why they always do it first. That being said, 0.066 is hardly anything, really. To throw around the word "intoxicated" is ridiculous. Yeah sure thing, buddy. .004 is intoxicated, anything but 0.00 is intoxicated. They might as well just change the definition of intoxicated to mean "any amount of alcohol remaining in the bloodstream." Seeing as how this is early in the morning, it's even possible the alcohol was consumed the previous night, but if that were the case, she'd gotten pretty hammered that night.

[@lotusmilano]

Something like three ipas could stay in your system for nine hours. That’s not even a “crazy” night, I think some people are just unaware of how long alcohol lingers.

Absolutely agree. This should have been handled internally instead of calling the police! And I don't understand WHY anybody thinks they have to take a breathalyzer!?! She should have stood up, and walked out of the building and gone HOME. WALKING, so they couldn't pull her over and give her a DUI. All she would have been in trouble for would have been walking out on her job. Taking a breathalyzer now gives them valid proof to terminate her employment. SMH. And she wasn't even legally drunk! So why was she arrested? I don't understand this at all.

You don't understand the implications of being impaired in a classroom. If anything happened in the classroom, and it came out that she didn't react quickly enough - or maybe her intoxication caused her to say inappropriate things - it's a liability issue. And lets face it - when parents find out that she was intoxicated in the classroom, it's going to be a nightmare. The officers explained that while she wasn't Legally Drunk, she was IMPAIRED. The district and local law enforcement codes make it an arrestable and bondable offense. My biggest problem with all of this is that she doesn't have a Union Rep with her, let alone Legal Counsel. She should have called for either before the Breathalizer and Interrogation and legally they have to provide time for them!

She’s not even drunk. She must sue for wrongful termination and slander

[@verlondakirchner2281]

I would love to see it televised if she were to sue. How could she frame it that she had enough alcohol in her system just below the legal limit and the time that had passed before the officer had taken her breathalyzer test? Don't get wrong. Back in high school, there were a few times when I showed up to school on Monday morning, and I knew that alcohol was still in my system, but I feared my mother more if she ever found out that I had skipped class because I had partied over the weekend. The teacher is an adult. She could have taken the day off or maybe taken half a day off to give the alcohol more time to absorb through her body. As for the way her termination came about, I don't know what state law or federal law says about a worker showing up to work with alcohol in their system if there's a no tolerance policy for alcohol consumption found to be in the body, but maybe, just maybe she would have a defense for the way she felt pushed into signing that resignation letter? That was pretty quick of them to pass her that letter to sign without knowing all of her options and consequences signing any letter or form. I'm not siding with her, nor am I against her, but it would be a learning experience to see how her case would play out in court.

[@zoso1980]

Perhaps you missed where the officer said 0.066 is DWI levels in Oklahoma and arrestable, and even more so later he said he thought she was around a 1.1 BAC. If she'd been operating a car, she'd still have been arrested. This shows how unaware you are of the real world. She works in a profession with small children. There are policies and politics around working with kids. One of them is that you don't show up in the morning coming down from being drunk the night before. She'll get nowhere with wrongful termination and slander. She blew a 0.066, a legally actionable BAC level. Even more important, 100% that impairment is addressed in her district's employee manual for drug policy. They got her dead to rights being above a legal limit in Oklahoma, and being in violation of district policy while teaching small children. Got any more bright ideas Einstein? If she sues, she loses, pretty quickly. I have no doubt this wasn't her first warning. This situation happened because this is what it took to legally dismiss her without any chance of lawsuit you suggest being successful.

I was thinking the same thing -- she was not operating a vehicle so there should not be any comparissons made to DWI. Public intoxication is very subjective -- albeit, the officer mentioned her failiing the horizontal gaze nystagmus test -- so, I guess if it were to goto court -- that would be argued. I am not a lawyer -- but, the fact that she is taking medications could have played into a defense. Additionally, I thought most departments/agencies were suppose to wait 20min (or some other amount of time?) after any type of consumption before administering the breathalyzer -- she was drinking on the water bottle (was it water?) the entire duration of this incident. Neither of the officers asked when she took the last Xanax, nor did they ask about what was in the water bottle.. That too could play into a defense... If I were her -- I would had taken it to court. But then again -- from the sound of the phone call she made and then her knowing what time the court processes for signature bond cases (I think the officer realized that when he closed the car door -- I heard a slight "humph") -- seems like she knows from experience, this was not her first rodeo. With that -- her defense becomes only weaker. I hope she gets the help she needs either way.

The one that said she could have someone pick her up, and the one who said she was under arrest (his superior) were two entirely different people, and that was at the behest of the school administration, so blaming the first officer is misplaced. When the superior was talking to administration, it sounded like he was all for just letting someone come and take her home, but they were the ones who more or less insisted that they arrest her. Also, though, I seriously have my doubts that the pocket breathalyzer and the one they have at a station would have that big of a difference in showing the BAC as the Major claimed. What he said it would probably be would be about twice what she actually blew, and I doubt there would be that big of a difference even if the pocket breathalyzer showed a lower amount.
