UPDATE: An arrest affidavit obtained by 25 News reveals that Marvin told the officer he thought he was in Riesel, although he was actually in West. The officer observed signs of intoxication, leading to Marvin's arrest.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Douglas Marvin has been an elementary school principal and superintendent with the Hallsburg ISD for the past two years.
Before moving to Mart, he served as a principal in the Burnet Consolidated ISD — just outside of Austin.
Hallsburg is just west of Mart, which is around 20 miles from Waco.
The McLennan County Sheriff's Office confirmed to 25 News that West police arrested Marvin on charges of public intoxication.
The Hallsburg ISD School Board is set to meet on Thursday for a special called meeting. On the agenda is an executive session that includes evaluating the superintendent.
Public intoxication is a Class C misdemeanor and could result in a fine of up to $500 — jail records show Marvin is no longer in custody.
25 News reached out to the district, but they refused to comment.
