A Northern California second-grade teacher was facing charges for allegedly driving to work and teaching students while drunk, but the charges were dropped.

An elementary school teacher in Northern California will not face charges for allegedly being drunk while teaching in a classroom, a local district attorney's office said Monday. Wendy Munson, a second-grade teacher at Nuestro Elementary School in Live Oak, California, was arrested on Oct. 2, 2023, for charges of DUI and child endangerment.

After failing a sobriety test, she was arrested. But on Monday, Sutter County District Attorney Jennifer Dupre’s office announced Munson would not be facing charges. 'After a lengthy and thorough investigation, the Sutter County District Attorney’s Office has determined that no charges will be filed against Wendy Munson, the second-grade teacher at Nuestro School who was arrested on October 2, 2023,' the DA’s office wrote in a Facebook post.

Dhillon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Munson’s status as a teacher. The DA’s office said the dropping of charges against Munson does not impact decisions made by Dhillon regarding her employment status.
