DUI school employee accused of passing drivers who never attended class

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police say a woman gave drunk drivers who never set foot in the classroom credit for taking their court-ordered DUI courses.

An arrest warrant says Byhlia Holliday, a former employee of A-Abacus DUI school in Marietta, gave multiple drivers credit for passing and paying the required fees for classes, when there is evidence they did neither.

She is charged with more than two dozen felonies in two warrants for computer theft and forgery.

Drivers were upset to learn that other drivers might be back on the road despite not getting the mandatory classwork following a DUI or other traffic offense.

“If they didn’t take it, they need to go to jail,” one driver said.

Warrants indicate that after Holliday was fired, she went back to the school, got access to the computer system and tried to erase what she had done.

Channel 2’s Ross Cavitt when to Holliday’s home in Dallas, but a person behind the door said they did not want to talk.

A manager at the A-Abacus school also said they did not want to comment.

The Department of Driver Services is investigating the case.

A spokesperson for the DDS said they could not comment on how many drivers got a free pass, or what will happen to them, because the investigation is ongoing.
