EDC schools chief hasn’t worked since DUI arrest
By Diana Lambert, Sacramento Bee
El Dorado County schools chief Jeremy Meyers hasn’t returned to work since he was arrested Thursday for allegedly driving drunk for the second time this year, and the county Office of Education does not have an official explanation for his absence.
Meyers, 45, allegedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.19 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent, according to the CHP. He was arrested after he crashed his truck into a utility box at about 2pm and was suspected of driving while intoxicated.
County Office of Education spokeswoman Dina Gentry said Tuesday she doesn’t have any information about when Meyers plans to return to his duties. She had no information on whether he has contacted anyone at the office about his plans. As an elected official, Meyers can set his own hours.
