Alexandria VA Police Chief David P. Baker arrested for DUI
Arlington County Police arrested Alexandria Chief of Police David P. Baker for DUI Saturday just after 11pm according to myfoxdc.com.
Baker, whose BAC reading was .19, was driving a city-owned Ford Explorer when it struck another vehicle at the entrance to Interstate 66 at North Fairfax Drive.
Baker’s future is now in the hands of City Manager Jim Hartmann, who announced he’s launched an independent investigation. When asked if Baker’s career was over, Hartmann said, "I'm not prepared to say that right now. We're looking at all the facts of the case. This is a very serious situation.”Yes it is a very serious situation. The rank-and-file needs an example to follow.
The case is very serious indeed. I chief of police arrested with DUI. You don't hear that very often. He was supposed to set an example in the community, it's bad for him now, it's bad for the police image and bad for the community.
