There are ripple effects felt throughout the department when an entire city's budget is affected due to one sector's failure. While I'm sure we would be happier if it came from their pensions, it is definitely a good wakeup call for all government entities involved.

He's on the Brady list in Maricopa County and Pinal County. Both of the departments where he resigned in lieu of termination recommended the state revoke his certification, but the state didn't do so.

    What about those who signed off on his reports and didn’t pick up the pattern? His supervisors need to be disciplined as well. This officer may have caused people to lose their jobs, suffer emotional distress and/or spent time in jail without reparation. Someone with a sensitive job such as a pilot can lose their license. The officer needs to be charged criminally and decertified. There should be no DUI charge without a blood test. Too many physical ailments can cause slurred words, imbalance, or sleepy eyes. I have a broken ankle that never healed. If someone asked me to stand on my left leg only, I would be physically incapable to do so. GBI also needs to be investigated independently by civilians because they protected the Thin Blue Line when there obviously was an abuse of power here.

      I like how Mike Blute was towing the thin blue line covering for the department. Did they say the officer took Blutes class?
      💯 a command staff would know he was falsely arresting people. There results come back .00 one time it may be a fluke, then two and three times that is a huge problem.
      I lead my department several times in DUI arrests. Other officers would call it a gimme when someone was over .2. The closer you got to .08 the more impressive your skills. I never had anyone under .08 unless they were on drugs. My highest was .43 and the doctors were not sure she’d make it…she drove into a lagoon.

He did this EXACT same thing. Would pull people over for nonsense and then charge them with DUI. The police dept did absolutely nothing for years and he kept getting commendations after another. But one day he pulled over the wrong guy, and this dude faught back legally and turned his whole world upside down. He was quietly let got from the force, but I wished he got convicted and serious jail time for the amount of lives he ruined. When are not longer friends, have not been for quite a long time.

I was on my way to an interstate paving job in eastern AZ (from Nevada) and was pulled over at about 1:00 am (for nothing) No drugs, as we are drug tested and I had NOTHING to drink. I breezed past the roadside tests. He said, sorry, your eyes are glassy! What does that mean? Arrested for DUI. My pickup was towed and impounded and I went to jail. I blew a 0.00 on the breath test so they took me to the hospital for a blood draw. The results would take 6 to 8 weeks.
      My wife had to drive to AZ with 2500 in bail money, 1000 for my truck. We paid a lawyer 5000 for a retainer, a room for two nights, I spent 3 days in jail, and LOST my job paving, I was fired. We almost lost our house and I have kids.
