Florida — A 49-year-old substitute teacher was arrested after police reportedly found her unconscious behind the wheel of her running vehicle in a middle school pickup line with an open bottle of vodka inside the car.

Jennifer Jenison faces DUI charges following the incident, which occurred as parents were arriving to pick up their children. According to authorities, officers discovered Jenison unresponsive in the driver’s seat. She allegedly registered a blood alcohol concentration more than four times the legal limit.

Investigators say they also found an open bottle of vodka in the vehicle. The alarming situation unfolded in full view of other parents and school staff, raising serious concerns about student safety and the screening process for substitute teachers.

Jenison, who was working as a substitute at the time, has been removed from her position pending the outcome of the case. School officials have not yet issued a public statement, but sources indicate she will not be allowed to return to any classroom duties.

The incident has shocked the local community, with many parents expressing outrage that someone allegedly impaired to such a degree was near children at dismissal time. Law enforcement officials emphasized that the prompt response by officers prevented a potentially far more dangerous situation.

Jenison was taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence. She is expected to appear in court in the coming days.

This case highlights ongoing concerns about alcohol impairment and public safety, particularly in environments involving children. It remains under active investigation by local police.
