Kathy Johnson was arrested Tuesday after she drove into the parking lot of the Starting Block Learning Center, said Carroll County chief sheriff’s Deputy Brad Robinson. Deputies were outside Johnson’s daycare center investigating an unrelated domestic incident when she arrived. She approached the deputies”in a totally agitated manner,”and they smelled alcohol on her breath, Robinson said. Johnson’s blood alcohol level was .15, nearly double the legal threshold for a DUI, he said. It is Johnson’s fourth arrest on DUI charges, Carrollton police Capt. Daryl Diamond said. She was convicted of drunken driving in 1992 and 1993, and a 2005 DUI charge is still pending, he said. If Johnson is convicted _ and depending on the results of a state probe _ she and her business could face state sanctions ranging from a simple fine to the revocation of the center’s license, said Todd Blandin, spokesman for the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. |
