After he was pulled over, Flugum said he’d left Sideline’s Bar and Grill, then declined to take a field sobriety test or answer further questions, the arresting officer wrote in his incident report.

Flugum was charged with DUI, failure to maintain lane, and misdemeanor obstruction.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that he posted bond about five hours after he was arrested.

“We are aware of the police report and, as a personnel matter which is being investigated, have no further comment,” a spokesperson for the Cobb County School District said in an emailed statement Thursday.

The next step for Flugum is to complete a clinical evaluation and the attendance of a DUI / Risk Reduction Program that’s certified/licensed by the Georgia Department of Driver’s Services before his driver’s license can be reinstated since he has been charged with one of the following:

  1. DUI
  2. Drug Possession
  3. Other drug offenses
  4. Under-age possession of drugs or alcohol

Before getting behind the wheel after having a few, consider the many reasons why you should not.
