Two married Tooele police officers were fired for driving while drunk, playing Twister in uniform while drunk and sexually harassing another couple, according to allegations released this week.
Two letters from Tooele Police Chief Ron Kirby to Lt. Jorge Cholico and his wife, detective Jamie Gutierrez, outline the findings of the police department's investigation into the couple's conduct, listing the various policies and codes they allegedly violated.
The heavily redacted letters, obtained by the Deseret News through an open-records request, also accuse the couple of supplying alcohol to and drinking with a minor, and socializing while on duty.
Most of the incidents stem from the couple's involvement with another couple whom Gutierrez met while responding to a property dispute call, according to the department's investigation. Though she was on duty, she stayed at the home for four-and-a-half hours that first night, which the letter states "began a pattern of spending time at the home" while on duty.
It was at this same couple's home where Gutierrez was photographed while allegedly playing Twister drunk, though Gutierrez initially told police investigators that she had never played Twister at the home. This led to Gutierrez being accused of making false statements during an investigation.
This is one of the strangest DUI arrests I've ever heard.
