Lutheran H.S. principal apologizes for DUI arrest - 13 WTHR Indianapolis:
INDIANAPOLIS -
An Indianapolis high school principal apologized to his students and their families after his arrest on drunk driving charges.
Police say 44-year-old Michael Brandt was nearly twice the legal limit for alcohol (.15) when he was stopped for speeding just after midnight last Sunday. Police say the smell of alcohol hit them when Brandt opened his car window. His speech was slurred and police say he failed the field sobriety test.
He was arrested for DUI, speeding and not having a signed car registration.
Brandt has been principal at Lutheran High School on South Arlington Avenue for a year after teaching at the school for two decades.
He told Eyewitness News by phone Tuesday he'd made a "terrible mistake" and that while his school community expects him to be a leader, "I failed to lead." In a letter to parents and students, he asked forgiveness and says he plans to own his mistake.
School parents who spoke with Eyewitness News were surprised but supportive of Brandt whom they called a "good man."
"It's difficult. Everyone makes mistakes," said parent Sara Bauman. "My inclination would be to forgive and move on."
At a school event Tuesday evening, some families were supportive of their principal.
"I don't really want to comment on the situation," said parent Kris Goff. "I will say this. Mr. Brandt is a fantastic person, fantastic principal, great with the kids."
Brandt says he was on his way home from a family-friendly social event when he stopped "and had some drinks at a local establishment."
He tells Eyewitness News he is working to make sure it never happens again.

GJ - WELS does not apologize.
They transfer him if it is a DP, export him to foreign missions if he is a pastor, shout Ein Prosit! if he is a worship professor.
