A San Francisco police officer has been arrested on
suspicion of felony drunken driving after he crashed his sports car in
Groveland (Tuolumne County), injuring his passenger, authorities said.
Stanislav Bratchikov, 25, of San Mateo was rounding a
curve on Ferretti Road shortly after 7 p.m. Monday when he apparently lost
control of his 2002 Chevrolet Corvette and clipped a pine tree, according to a
California Highway Patrol report.
The car then slid down an embankment and struck another
tree, according to the report.
Bratchikov's passenger, Kevyn Rivera,
20, of Groveland suffered a concussion and minor scrapes and was taken to Sonora
Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Bratchikov was arrested and released after posting
$25,000 bail. He is scheduled for arraignment Aug. 1.
Bratchikov is assigned to the San Francisco
Police Department's operations division, which handles patrol
services as well as some investigations, said Sgt. Michael
Andraychak, a police spokesman.
"We're awaiting an incident report from California
Highway Patrol," Andraychak said. "After it's reviewed, the
department will make a determination on his work status."
