Parrish resident April Canfield was fired from her job as a teacher’s aide at Lincoln Middle School in Manatee County Monday night. School board members approved her dismissal for not reporting a drunk driving arrest that also included a charge of prescription drug fraud. The 30-year-old’s case is ongoing in Sarasota County.
According to the HeraldTribune.com Canfield was arrested driving on I-75 in Sarasota County for DUI. During the traffic stop police discovered she was in possession of a prescription drug that did not belong to her. School employees are required to report arrests. Had she reported the arrest and went on to be convicted, she would have served just a five-day suspension.
