Roanoke Co. detective arrested on drunk driving charges

Elephant in the room?  If you read through the comments it has been brought up a number of times about how rare it is that a cop arrests another cop for DUI.  Your theory seems very conspiratorial.  I think she was charged because….she failed stop for the check point( they didn’t know who it was at the time of the event), the Officers and their radio traffic indicated they thought she was running from them, multiple Officers were involved, and from what I have heard her attitude was terrible and abusive on the side of the road…which left them with very few options…it is far easier to get someone a ride home for a DUI when there isn’t a lot of radio traffic indicating there has been an incident…if they hadn’t charged her Rke Co PD would be coming under fire for not doing their job, had it come out.  So they can’t win…I HIGHLY doubt the arresting Officer was excited about making this arrest.  Those involved knew this would be an ugly event in all of their careers, and I don’t envy them.

Roanoke Co PD is a highly structured organization, any investigation of an Officer for Domestic Violence would be conducted by their professional Standards Unit, so I don’t think you theory holds a lot of water…

But like some have said it will all come out at Trial, if there is a trial…either way I can’t imagine she will be able to salvage her career at that Police Dept.  Especially with all the publicity.

Well ffagk….you’re probably getting some really bad information.  Even if she doesn’t get convicted of DUI her career with Roanoke County Police Dept is most likely over…based on the description of her cussing both the Officers on the side of the road, and cussing Deputies down at the Jail I’d say that conduct alone to include refusing the breath test would merit being terminated.  There are most likely multiple policy violations to include conduct, being under the influence of alcohol while in possession of a firearm, and probably more polices that may be applied in this situation….so keep holding your breath….I’d say she is SOL

I am very confused… Ummmm, does anyone have any clue what Mitchell is babbling on about? It is almost like he is using a foreign language translator and many of the words have much different meaning that he intended that or his simply insane :)... Something, because I would certainly hope he didn’t intend his comment to read in that way!

imagine it is awful how dynamic toper has upturned into a “personnel matter” according to the Asst. Boss of Roanoke Co.  Dynamic spell fuddled is a evildoing, no concern who the being is.  A acceptable parent and mortal would not put her friends or descent at assay by dynamical while under the touch of intellectual altering substances.  Okay, so we don’t hit univocal information much as a device or blood tests published yet, but someone who has something to conceal unremarkably does not poverty to go along with comfortable investigation (breathalyzer) to ascertain the verity.  This lover should be pissed.

Mitchell     flights to perth

Ah. Yes. self righteous perfection of Roanoke’s finest chooses to name call in order to argue their point.  Thank you for reminding me exactly of the reasons I have come dislike this area.

My education level nor my support for one who has made a great error in judgement does not make me a drunk, or a drunk driver, OR an idiot as you tried to claim in your retort. Quite the contrary, I do not drink AT ALL, and I DO know the reprocussions of drunk drivers and their victims, probably more intimately than you are willing to let yourself imagine. I know the end results all too well.
I will not stoop to the pathetic level of name calling in order to prove my point. I posted in my support of one who protected us, plain and simple. I do not condone her actions, but I do believe she has the right to her day in court, and if proven guilty, her need to be held accountable to the very same laws you and I would if we were the guilty party. I do not feel she should lose her job. period.
If it were your child charged, you would be the first to whine and cry over how it was a mistake, and you certainly wouldn’t stop supporting them, and likely you would help them instead of condeming them for life.
If it were YOU or ME, or a doctor, a lawyer, a nurse or a paramedic/firefighter in this very spot it would not be job loss worthy, much less splashed all over the media for “idiots” to babble over.
