[11Alive] A metro Atlanta elementary school principal was arrested on a DUI charge after a crash last Thursday.
Cobb County officers were called to the collision that happened at the intersection of Ebenezer Road and Sandy Plains Road on Thursday afternoon on Jan. 8, at around 4:44 p.m.
Police said an investigation determined the driver who caused the crash was under the influence of alcohol.
The driver was identified as Jill Spiva. According to a report, Spiva was also charged with failure to maintain lane and an open container violation.
Spiva is the principal at Addison Elementary School in Cobb County. The location of the intersection where she crashed and was arrested is just down the street from the elementary school, and the crash and arrest happened just after school ended for that day.
11Alive reached out to the school district, and they provided this statement:
"The district recently became aware of an incident which we have verified happened off-campus and after school hours. Because the investigation is ongoing, we cannot comment further. We are happy to hear everyone involved is safe." |
