David Myers, Richmond Public Schools’ recently hired budget chief, was arrested last month and charged with driving with a blood-alcohol level about twice the legal limit.

Myers was pulled over while driving his 2009 Acura sport utility vehicle April 15 in Henrico County, two weeks to the day after taking over as Richmond schools’ assistant superintendent of financial services.

Police say that officers got a call at 7:35 p.m. April 15 reporting a reckless driver near Patterson Avenue. An officer saw the vehicle, began to follow it and “observed possible signs that the operator may be impaired.”

Myers was pulled over at Falconbridge Drive and Ridgefield Parkway, about 20 miles from his Mechanicsville home.

According to court documents, at the time of Myers’ arrest his blood-alcohol content was 0.15 to 0.20 percent, well above the 0.08 percent legal limit. He was charged with driving while intoxicated and has a court appearance scheduled for June 29 in Henrico General District Court.

He was released the morning after his arrest.

Richmond schools spokeswoman Kenita Bowers said neither the district nor Myers would comment on the arrest.
