Assistant Principal Resigns After Not Reporting DUI

COLUMBUS, GA (AP) -- The assistant principal of a high school in west Georgia has resigned after failing to report for a drunken-driving charge he received last month.

Fenton Lewis Dixon resigned Wednesday from Northside High School -- a day after the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported his January 19th arrest for drunken driving. Educators are required to report arrests to the Muscogee County school district within five days of the charge.

The 52-year-old Dixon could not immediately be reached for comment. A police report says an officer caught Dixon and another man urinating on the side of a building in downtown Columbus. The officer said both men smelled of alcohol and appeared to be "highly intoxicated."

After the officer warned them against urinating in public, Dixon got in a vehicle and drove several blocks before being pulled over by the officer.

Dixon was named assistant principal at Northside in 2002 and previously had taught social studies and coached tennis at Shaw High School.
