MILWAUKEE (AP) - A Milwaukee
police officer is serving a 30-day suspension after he drove while drunk, and
rolled his vehicle into a ditch.
According to Fire and Police
Commission records, Officer Jon Parker told authorities he drank four or five
beers with dinner on Oct. 11. He was on a hunting trip in Washington County.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (http://bit.ly/Kwe1PN
) reports that Parker's blood-alcohol level was 0.11%. He was ticketed for a
first offense of drunken driving.
Chief Edward Flynn filed a
complaint with the commission, saying Parker stated he fell asleep while
driving home, then went into the ditch.
No one was injured.
There is no other discipline on
Parker's record. He's been with the department since 1991.
Had enough? Write to
the Speaker of the House, U.S. House
of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515 and demand federal hearings into the
police problem in America. Demand
mandatory body cameras for cops, one strike rule on abuse, and a permanent DOJ office on Police Misconduct.
