The Tarkio R-1 Superintendent has resigned according to KMAland News.

As we previously reported, Tarkio School Superintendent Dr. Patrick Martin was allegedly pulled over during a traffic stop earlier this month after police said he was driving on the wrong side of the road.

Tarkio Police Chief Tyson Gibbons said Martin was booked into jail on three counts, DWI, driving with an open container, and failing to drive on the right half of the roadway.

KMA is reporting Tarkio R-1 School Board President Steve Klute confirmed Martin’s resignation Friday morning effective immediately. When we tried to call multiple times around 1:30 Friday afternoon to talk to someone at the school about his resignation the phones went unanswered.

Martin is scheduled to make an traffic appearance in Tarkio Municipal Court August 29th.

Martin is the former principal at Platte County High School who resigned after he was charged with soliciting a prostitute back in 2012. Prosecutors later dropped the charges but Martin resigned from his job in Platte County.
