A teacher in the Dallas school district was incarcerated at about 2 a.m. today after police say he was smoking cocaine while cruising erratically in Oak Cliff.

Donald Keith Johnson, 47, a teacher at Molina High School, was charged with evading arrest and possession of cocaine, according to police. The school’s address is listed on Mr. Johnson’s driver’s license.

A police officer spotted Mr. Johnson, a Dallas resident, on West Laureland Road and attempted to pull him over because he was unable to maintain his lane, according to a Dallas police report.
According to the report, Mr. Johnson continued smoking cocaine from a crack pipe as officers pursued him.

The pursuit ended at the Houston Street Viaduct, where police had to put Mr. Johnson’s car in park because he refused to do so, according to the report. Officers used a Taser to subdue Mr. Johnson, who resisted arrest by punching and kicking, the report states. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital.

Mr. Johnson was booked into Dallas County Jail around 8 a.m. and is being held in lieu of $3,000 bond. (From C+D/Dallasnews.com)
