For this he was given a 2 month paid vacation then probation and community service. He makes $163,998 a year. Your tax dollars at work.
YOUR tax dollars at work! He's now back on the job, soon to collect the cushy young-age retirement of an $80k a year pension for life! 😣
Sing that song by eric church thats on your shirt buddy, i got a beer in my hand 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Released several hours later,,,, anyone else would have to wait for a magistrate here in Michigan. They might hold you up for 147 hours for an innocent person.
Get these female cops out of the field y’all, this woman can’t control him anyway.
They’re a liability.
Women cannot back up men the way it’s needed,
Women always need rescuing,
Women embolden aggressive suspects,
And women have to escalate to their gun right away when things threaten to get physical or they’ll get wrecked.
Get these women out of the field.
"Caught" asking for a lawyer. Caught? Like asking for a lawyer is some sort of criminal activity? It's the only smart thing he did that night.
this years cops vs fire fighters ice hockey game will just be a bit extra intense now
How embarrassing and despicable. He of all people should know better. I hope this was his last day on the job.
The fire cheif got Fired !
great looks from the city I just moved to
Is it news because of the color of his skin?
The pride of Michigan leading example of complete loser.
Way to go jerk!! Give MI another punch in the gut!!
I live in Flint Michigan and Detroit and Flint has very high crime rate and we hire incompetent officers
He needed a lawyer to try to rescue to him.
American police seem to crave drama; very sad hw inhumane they are just bcoz they hv a little power smh
Drunk drivers that kill should immediately forfeit their lives.
WTF OMG,Im pretty sure him being a fire chief. Had to have come across MANY DUI accidents where people have died .He himself should have known he was so intoxicated that driving under the influence He could have killed himself or others innocent people.
Noone should drive drunk, but never answer cops questions, you have the right to remain silent. Cops are not your friends, dont do any FST
It’s funny how much sympathy is shown in these comments yet when it’s Joe Blow everyone is out for blood! Hypocrites.
Well, I'm not defending him, but we're all human and we make bad decisions. And he'll have to pay the consequences for his actions.
Shirt says it all..
We just had a deputy placed on admin leave for a DUI when he rolled over his patrol vehicle into a pole. There's a reason why first responders have to take a psych eval prior to being hired.
too much drugs and alcohol available in america , thats the main reason for every problem and crime
Sierra is 🔥
I love when people get arrested in funny shirts.
"When all your 'good guys', are 'bad guys'…" volume 08, edition 29… so anyone else already aware of this and willing to hit the "unsubscribe" button on this whole military modeled hierarchy that obviously is screwing so many people up and over…?!
It's just… not. Working. Even though public safety personnel are having more labor shortages than ever. This is asinine on so many levels. We simply must take better care of and WITH each other.
Oh man he's trashed, glad the police did their job because this guy was a real danger.
Disgraceful. Especially for someone who, at some point in his career I’m certain, has seen the carnage of a DUI accident. In my opinion, it should be a felony when a police officer, firefighter, or EMT/paramedic is operating a vehicle while intoxicated. No one knows the dangers of that decision better than we do, so there’s especially no excuse.
At a certain point, I think they were just trying to solidify that DUI 😬
I know first responders have a tough job but they should be the first to know NOT to drink and drive. Simple.
A "couple" is two.
Couple of beers. 3-4 🤦🏾♀️
Couple of hours.
It’s industry standard to tell police you’ve only had 2 beers.
Here’s what will happen provided it’s his first offense: Court arraignment, then plea deal for a lesser crime, paid leave while attending diversion or rehab then back to work. I’ve gotta hand it to the chief in that most people stick with the “couple of beers” answer. This is the first time I’ve ever heard a DUI actually admit to “3 or 4”. Hopefully he gets the help he needs and thank goodness he didn’t kill himself or anyone else.
Sad.
Just doing these type of videos; stick to trials..your narration isn't needed..I always give a thumbs down when you do.
Country music sucks.
Those in high positions know better and should be held in higher standards and he deserves a prison sentence and high fines and fees and losing his job!!
Ha
Also shout out to the officers for doing their job and not holding him above the law. They were all respectful to one another.
Im drinking, sluuuurring, stumbling, 😊😊
But im not diving and dinking
Or briving a dus, im mean dus a brive.
Hamana hamana hamana
I hope he okay truly. Seem like he battling something.. Men handle mental health differently sometimes I hope the administrated leave is the break he probably needed.
