Leander ISD assistant principal accused of driving drunk, hitting bicyclist at school
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Leander Independent School District assistant principal was placed on leave after she was accused of driving drunk and hitting a bicyclist at a school earlier this week, according to an affidavit from Williamson County.
The assistant principal was identified as 51-year-old Marta Johnson, according to the affidavit. She was charged with a misdemeanor DWI.
As of Friday, an attorney was not listed for Johnson. We will update this story if that changes.
Court records said an officer with the Cedar Park Police Department responded to Reed Elementary School in Cedar Park around 7:20 a.m. Monday for the crash.
When the officer arrived on the scene, the bicyclist appeared “to have road rash on his arms” and “small lacerations” from the crash, according to the affidavit.
Johnson was reported as having bloodshot eyes and had a “strong odor” of alcohol on her breath. She was given a breathalyzer test, which showed a level of .282 — which is three times the legal limit, court records said.
In a letter to families of the elementary school, the principal said Johnson was placed on administration leave Monday, pending an investigation by law enforcement and the district.
No other details were available Friday.
