A principal at a Palm Beach County elementary school faces a charge of driving under the influence after she was arrested in Boynton Beach this past weekend.
Online jail records show that Suzanne Berry, 47, the principal at Wynnebrook Elementary School, was booked early Saturday morning after an incident Friday night.
According to a probable cause affidavit from the Boynton Beach Police Department, just after 8 p.m. Friday, an officer responded to a traffic complaint regarding a driver being followed by another motorist for a “long period of time.”
The report said when the officer made contact with the concerned driver, he told police that he was being followed by an unknown driver for some reason.
The driver said while he was driving on Interstate 95 southbound from Lake Worth, he attempted to merge from the left lane to the right to exit to Lantana.
However, as he proceeded to merge into the exit lane, he noticed a car behind him also merge at the same time while “following him very closely, and flashing their lights at him erratically.”
