Less than three-months after the Superintendent of the Griswold Community School District was arrested in Carroll County for OWI/1st Offense, another Griswold District Administrator is in trouble with the law. Authorities in Union County say 41-year old Thomas “T-J” Dunphy, Principal at the Griswold High School, faces a charge of OWI/2nd offense, and Carrying a weapon while intoxicated. The charges were the result of a traffic stop for speeding in Creston, that took place at around 3-a.m. Sunday.

Iowa online court records show Dunphy pleaded guilty to drunken driving in 2010 and served two days in jail for the crime. Since his latest incident, Dunphy has posted bond and had his preliminary hearing set for March 29th. School officials say Dunphy was placed on administrative leave. The Griswold School Board is expected to meet Monday to discuss the matter and Dunphy’s future with the district.

In December, 2015, Griswold Superintendent Dana Kunze was arrested in Carroll County for OWI/1st offense. In a plea bargain, Kunze plead guilty to the charge on Feb. 25th. He was given a 60-day jail sentence, with all but two days suspended and credit given for time served. Kunze was also ordered to pay a $1,250 fine and given two-years probation.
