Sounds like this Florida driver’s ed teacher needs to go back to the basics.

William Harris, who is a Marion County High School driver’s education teacher, was arrested Saturday night for driving under the influence after a hit-and-run accident, WKMG reported. He was supposed to start classes on Monday, but has been placed on administrative leave.

Police said Harris, 42, rear-ended another vehicle with his pick-up truck and sped away from the scene. The other driver followed Harris and called 911.

“Basically [the other driver] gave us a play by play of where he was,” Ocala Police Department Capt. Lou Biondi told WKMG.

Officers were able to track down Harris and pulled him over.

“There were indicators that he had been drinking. He had some bloodshot eyes, they looked glassy, he had slurred speech and he admitted that he had been drinking,” Biondi said.

When asked how much he had been drinking, Harris reportedly told officers “not much.”

Harris, who is also the head coach of the Dunnellon High School football team, failed field sobriety tests and refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test.

He taken into custody at Marion County Jail. He faces charges for driving under the influence and hit-and-run causing bodily harm.

“If you’re an authoritative figure, a police officer, a teacher or something like that, and things like this happen, we’re all human. It does happen. But the public holds us to a higher standard and we’re supposed to be mentors,” Biondi said.
