A 57-year-old second-grade teacher who was arrested for allegedly teaching while being drunk will not face charges, because of a lack of evidence.
Wendy Munson, 57, was detained on October 2, 2023 after Sutter County sheriff’s deputies were alerted to a staff member appearing intoxicated at Nuestro Elementary School in Live Oak, north of Sacramento, California.
Despite the arrest, prosecutors found insufficient evidence to prove a crime had been committed.
‘The mere potential that a situation could arise is insufficient to meet the requirements under the law. While teaching under the influence is highly inappropriate, it is, unfortunately, not illegal,’ the DA’s office stated.
