Mayor’s Special Events Director Resigns After DUI Arrest

Mayor Kasim Reed’s special events director has resigned less than a week after her arrest on DUI and reckless driving charges, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Stacii Jae Johnson, 41, was arrested late Thursday by an Atlanta police officer who saw her driving her white Porsche at 82 mph in a 55 mph zone on I-85 near the I-75 split.

Johnson was reportedly uncooperative and refused a field sobriety test, according to a police report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

She was responsible for a small staff of about six people in the mayor’s office of special events. The office processed permits for outdoor music festivals and locations for movie shoots, according to The AJC.

There’s no word on whether the mayor is taking applications for a new special events director.
