4/30/13 - A Novi elementary principal from Brighton has been charged under the stateâs co-called âsuper drunkâ law. 44-year-old Kim Warren is the principal of Deerfield Elementary School in Novi, but was placed on paid administrative leave after her arrest April 8th by Novi Police, who reportedly received two separate calls from concerned motorists regarding her driving while on Wixom Road. She was arrested in the school parking lot after reportedly returning from lunch. A squad car video of Warren being driven to the police station shows her slipping her handcuffs off and then showing them to the officer, who asks her not to throw them out the window. Warren was charged in 52nd District Court in Novi with operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of at least 0.17 percent and possessing open intoxicants in a motor vehicle. Officials say her breathalyzer results indicated the Brighton resident had a blood-alcohol content of 0.21 percent, more than two and a half times the state limit for operating a motor vehicle. Warren is currently free on $5,000 personal recognizance bond with orders to stay away from alcohol and submit to random weekly testing. She is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing on May 20th.
