Michael Fletcher, 44, a teacher at Lakeland High School, was arrested Wednesday.
Fletcher was in court for a bench warrant on charges of drunken driving and driving with a suspended license last year.
Police said Fletcher was late to work several days in a row. When the principal confronted Fletcher, he said Fletcher smelled like alcohol.
Police said Fletcher was super drunk.
"I've been trying to get myself clean since my last divorce, and I've got a medical issue that's detrimental," he said.
Fletcher has been living outdoors in a campground all summer, authorities said.
