Farmington Hills police
officer suspended without pay after drinking and driving arrest
A
Farmington Hills police officer has been suspended without pay after
investigators say he was drinking and driving.
Officer
Kristopher Landis has been with the Farmington Hills police department for 7
years.
On
the night of March 10, police in South Lyon say Landis crashed his Buick into
an unoccupied parked car on South Parkwood Drive.
The
owner of the car that was hit tells 7 Action News that his car was totaled.
According
to the police report, Landis told investigators he was driving home when he hit
the other car. The report says Landis' "speech was greatly slurred"
and there was a "very strong odor of intoxicants on his breath".
The
7 Action News team obtained police documents that show Officer Landis had a
blood alcohol content of .17 which is more than twice the legal limit of .08.
A
second test showed he had a blood alcohol content of .15. Officer Landis says
he plead guilty to drinking and driving.
