New Year’s Eve is unfortunately a common time for incidents of drunk driving. In Stuart, Florida, this was no exception on that night as a Martin County High School teacher was picked up for driving under the influence a mere 30 minutes before the ball dropped in New York City on New Year’s Eve.The Sherrif’s deputies claim that she was driving erratically near Stuart Florida on US 1 by the city limits. Deputies say the woman was traveling at 84 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone. She was subsequently stopped and arrested. The arrest report states that she was uncooperative with police when she was stopped and that she refused to submit to a breathalyzer test and tossed out profanities to the officer.

According to the official website of the Martin County High School, the woman teaches freshman students. The CBS 12 News channel attempted to speak with officials from the school. However, the school’s offices were closed until January 6, 2014.

The woman also failed to comment. She was unavailable when CBS 12 News attempted to reach her by phone. Additionally, she was not available at her home when the news reporter traveled there for a comment. The Martin County High School teacher has yet to speak on her arrest.
