This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here on cops charged with DUI. Now, in a strange bit of weird news, comes the story of a cop who not only got charged with a DUI but was also tased by his brothers and sisters in blue.
February 25, Phoenix, AZ
A Phoenix police officer is accused of drinking too much and threatening fellow officers who then took him down with a stun gun.I will admit, at this point I'm puzzled by the number of law enforcement, judges, and prosecutors charged with DUI. You would think if anyone understood the seriousness of DUI it would be those professionals.
The officer in question, 26-year-old Seth Castillo, was on his way home from McDonalds allegedly drunk and fell asleep in the middle of the street. He was not happy when fellow officers tried to wake him up.
Police say the off-duty officer was driving at two times the legal alcohol limit when he went right through a stop sign and fell asleep in the middle of a Gilbert intersection.
Investigators tell 3TV Castillo was slumped over the steering wheel of a black Jeep Cherokee with the car still in drive.
The police report indicates Castillo was snoring and did not wake up until after the officer shook him several times. When Castillo did wake up, the report states his eyes were watery, his speech was slurred and he smelled like alcohol.
