Teacher and Coach Charged With OUI and Reckless Endangerment

A June 12 traffic stop reportedly led officers to find his 15-month-old son unattended, prompting a child neglect report to the Massachusetts DCF.

Overview

  • Police stopped Bradley Leal on June 12 after officers say he nearly struck other cars and showed signs of intoxication during field sobriety tests.
  • Authorities allege Leal told officers he had "like three beers" and said "I have a problem" while refusing to hand over his license and asking officers to follow him home.
  • Weymouth police found Leal’s 15-month-old son asleep in his crib and a child neglect report was filed with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.
  • Whitman-Hanson Regional School District confirmed Leal resigned two days after his arrest and Plymouth Public Schools said it is taking the allegations seriously.
  • Leal faces a second-offense OUI charge and reckless endangerment of a child and is scheduled for arraignment on July 28 in Quincy District Court as prosecutors and DCF move forward with their reviews.
