Renee Williams was arrested July 6th in Columbia County.

She's charged with DUI and possession of cocaine and methamphetamine.

As an employee for the City of Portland, Williams is a risk specialist in the maintenance department and deals with workers compensation cases.

However, the city’s director of transportation, Sue Kiel, said Williams has not been on the job since her arrest and she no longer has access to records.

Keil says an audit revealed no mishandling of personal information.
