This Chicago DUI lawyer is surprised that a police officer gets to plead guilty to a DUI and continue to be a police officer. Well I guess he's learned his lesson, right?
Dirk Piggott has returned to work as an Aurora police officer after being arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
Piggott, 52, of Ravenna, pleaded guilty May 16 in Morrow County Municipal Court to being in physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, just north of Columbus, where a trooper arrested him March 13. The "physical control" violation is a lesser charge in the state's DUI law.
Huh, and to think I've posted that loss of job is one of the problems with a DUI arrest or finding of guilty.
