Teaching while drunk is not a crime, prosecutors said while announcing that a second-grade teacher in Northern California won't face charges.

A 57-year-old second-grade teacher arrested after allegedly teaching class drunk will not be charged, prosecutors announced Monday. Wendy Munson, 57, was arrested Oct. 2 after Sutter County sheriff's deputies received reports of a staff member who appeared to be intoxicated at Nuestro Elementary School in Live Oak. Despite the arrest, prosecutors said there wasn't enough evidence to show a crime had been committed.

On Monday, the district attorney's office announced no charges would be filed against Munson after a lengthy investigation could not meet the legal requirements of the charges. In a statement, prosecutors said investigators could not prove Munson was drunk when she drove to work, or if she began to drink at the elementary school. Sutter County Dist. Atty. Jennifer Dupré did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
