Police Chief Arrested for Drunk Driving

When traffic was stopped at a green light in Morrow last week, a police officer went to see what was holding it up. What he found was one of his coworkers, asleep and very intoxicated, behind the wheel of a police cruiser.

The police chief appeared to have fallen asleep behind the wheel of his cruiser, just one mile away from police headquarters. Several knocks on the window did nothing to awaken the snoozing officer. However, it did cause the car to start rolling forward slowly. The officer moved his vehicle in front of the chief's in order to prevent it from entering the intersection.

A few minutes later, the police chief finally woke up. Despite his rank, the officer was arrested and charged with DUI, as well as making an improper lane change, driving too fast for conditions, driving with an open container, traffic light violation and impeding traffic.
