Gig Harbor school principal pleads not guilty to DUI, hit-and-run

The principal of Gig Harbor high school has pleaded not guilty to DUI and hit-and-run charges.

Ted Strong was arrested on Fox Island last month after smashing into the back of another vehicle and driving away.

When police caught up with him, his blood alcohol content was .109.

According to The News Tribune, his wife had just filed for divorce, citing his “history of severe alcohol abuse.”

Strong is on leave from his job at the school while the case continues.
