Enterprise High School’s Enterprise High School has been accused of resisting a police officer and public intoxication in connection with an incident at his home in February.
Ryan Johnson admitted that he was not guilty of the charges on May 2 during a Treaty in the Supreme Court of Shasta County. 47 -year -old Johnson voluntarily undertook to take free time after his arrest. Shasta Union High School Chief Jim Clown said the principal was expelled for about a week.
Police were called to Johnson’s home shortly before 10:30 pm on Saturday, February 22, because Johnson was allegedly in front of his ex -wife’s car, blocking her from driving, according to a police report in Redding on the incident.
Johnson told the spotlight that he called the police that evening for help in the issuance of child care. A police report in Redding said that Johnson’s ex -wife took their daughter with her while she had left her vehicle.
When police arrived at his home officials, he told him and his ex -wife to “scatter”. Johnson, who has been the Enterprise director for the last nine years, said he had entered his home but was arrested after returning out to seek explanations with the officers.
The Enterprise High School Director Ryan Johnson spoke in September 29, 2024.
Johnson’s current wife told police that her husband had drank a bottle of Captain Morgan Rum and that “when he starts drinking, he does not stop and get angry,” according to a police report.
“I asked her if he attacked her (s) she told me she didn’t do it, and she hid from him while (Johnson) argued with her son,” the report said, referring to his current wife.
His wife asked the officer when her husband would “get out of prison because she wanted to get out of him because she was concerned about her and the safety of her child,” the officer wrote in a report. The report does not specify which child has indicated.
Johnson’s wife, Tammy, told the spotlight that the police report was inaccurate, saying that he was not hiding from her husband and was not afraid that he would hurt her or her children.
On Tuesday, Johnson told Record Searchlight that he did not drink a whole bottle of rum and that he did not deal with domestic violence or threatened anyone at night when he was arrested. He said he was dealing with his 18-year-old son and another of his children misinterpreted this and thinks they are fighting.
He said he was not charged or charged with domestic violence. In a subsequent report, police interviewed Johnson’s wife, who told an employee that her husband had never abused her.
“I suppose my thing is, I just want to make sure this is noted because I am not a violent person, nor have I been accused of it, nor have I ever come close to it – and obviously the accusations do not reflect it. The accusations are drunk and interfere with the officer,” Johnson told the newspaper.
A witness told police that Johnson was “six or seven” on a scale from one to 10, one being a single drink and 10 is highly intoxicated, according to a police report. Johnson said he was not given a blood alcohol test at night when he was arrested.
Police said Johnson resisted when employees tried to handcuff him, but Johnson said he did not resist. It was difficult for him to put his hands behind him because he was so big, he lists his height at 5 feet, 11 inches and his weight by 250 pounds.
After arrested him, police took him to Shasta County, where he was booked and released on his own recognition, he said.
Asked if anyone brought up his arrest after he had returned to school and what students should take from his incident, Johnson said he had taken responsibility for his actions and tried to be transparent about the incident.
“I accept myself responsible. I did it publicly and will continue to work through the process, just like anyone else,” he said. “So if something else, I would like to publicly thank my staff and students and parents for supporting me through this process,” Johnson said.
Clowns said he continued to support Johnson and said there was a lesson for students in what Johnson is experiencing.
“I think Ryan did a good job, as far as he was very transparent about what he was dealing with with both staff, students and parents. I think he was active in communicating, that he obviously had some things to work on, and I think he was very sincere in that.
“So I think if nothing else, I would hop the students deprive that obviously the elderly and the people in their lives, who see as mentors, can certainly make mistakes, but how you react to this is really the important part,” said Clown.
