Tucson Police Sergeant Arrested on Suspicion of DUI
As a officer of the law, you’re held to a higher standard than other citizens in upholding the law when either on-duty or on-call. This higher standard became clear Thursday morning when a Tucson Police Department sergeant was arrested on suspicion of DUI, reports KOLD. Ironically, he may have been trying to assist authorities during a call when they began to suspect that he may have been impaired.
Sgt. Robert Callan was reportedly responding to a S.W.A.T. call-out in Tucson near Flowing Wells and Wetmore. He drove to the scene in his personal vehicle, according to the Tucson Police Department. Once he arrived, however, officers allegedly noticed that Callan was exhibiting signs and symptoms of possible intoxication.
The Tucson police sergeant was arrested on suspicion of DUI and faces misdemeanor charges for driving impaired. The Tucson Police Department has also reportedly launched an internal investigation into Callan's actions.
Although Callan may be held to a higher standard in the eyes of the community, DUI law treats all offenders, regardless of occupation, the same. He faces possible jail time, expensive fines, and the installation of an ignition interlock device in his car. In addition, given the results of their internal investigation, the department could severely reprimand the sergeant, whether through suspension without pay or a note in his record which could affect future promotions.
If you have been arrested on suspicion of DUI, you should consider contacting an experienced Phoenix DUI attorney. The consequences of a DUI conviction, as in the case of the Tucson police sergeant, could affect not just your freedom, but also your employment.
