An administrator at a Florida high school was arrested early Saturday morning after an incident that reportedly began with reckless driving and ended with multiple criminal charges.

According to law enforcement, deputies were called out after a 911 report of a vehicle driving dangerously near a busy intersection in Charlotte County. The caller allegedly saw the car jump onto a median, smash into a road sign, and then leave the area without stopping. The damaged sign was left behind in the roadway.

Shortly after, deputies located the vehicle and pulled it over. The car was missing a large part of its front bumper, which appeared to match the damage described by the caller. When deputies approached the driver, they reportedly noticed a strong smell of alcohol as soon as the car door was opened.

Authorities in Georgia reported that a man is facing numerous charges after an extended series of car crashes and dangerous driving incidents across multiple counties, all allegedly while under the influence of Xanax.

The chain of events unfolded on a Wednesday afternoon, beginning in Johns Creek and continuing through Fulton and Gwinnett counties. It was reported that the situation started when a beige Volvo struck several vehicles in Johns Creek. Instead of stopping, the driver allegedly continued driving until they reached Duluth, where additional cars were hit. Just before 5:00 PM, the police were notified, and the callers reported that the Volvo was in the wrong lane and had crossed over a median at one point.

When officers arrived in the area, they found three drivers who described narrowly avoiding more serious collisions. One car was hit, another said their vehicle was sideswiped, and another driver explained they had to swerve quickly to avoid a head-on crash. The Volvo itself came to a stop on the edge of a landscaped median in front of a Popeyes restaurant. The vehicle appeared heavily damaged from multiple impacts.
