As a taxpayer who pay this cops salary I want a full goddamn report on my desk first thing in the morning

[rickrodriguez]

Like I have said he was probably drunk on drugs and crashed fled the scene and tried to sober up and get his story straight. Or he was kidnapped by big dogs obviously the kidnapping is out so why would the deputy leave his car and not call backup on his walkie-talkie like a normal not on drugs or drunk person would do??

Gang member crashed his vehicle and fled the scene trying to escape a DUI charge

[Mrtoastyy]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😳🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🤔 something doesn't sound right about this story. 🤔

Once again law enforcement showing us who really matters.
There would never be this many cops issued for a missing civilian.
And I bet he won't be punished for abandoning his squad car with weapons in it.

Driving drunk & fleeing the seen in a Taxpayer's provided car!

[altruisticprogression]

That's not suspicious at all. Lol

[danielpollockjr.]

So is he an off duty officer and crashed his own car or is he on duty and crashed his cruiser?

[jaysonpida]

I REALLY HOPE IT'S NOT A CASE OF THE OFFICER STOPPING AT THEIR HOME, DRINKING THEIR DINNER AND TRYING TO DRIVE

[lnkinc]

Just like anybody else would be charged he needs to also be held accountable for fleeing the accident scene

[jamesbronson]

The guy's been charged with DUI, according to the news.

[ryanfrommontana]

Hmmmm I bet we never hear about this again

[Quentinisgod]

I thought we hadd to wait 24 hrs to report a mising person?

[peteraymond]

Why did he go home we left a car crash it be a crime bet this gets swept under table

[jenrrarisat]

Deputy cracking and on drugs traveling with a Minor and committing several felonies

[Oceangirl_]

So thankful that he was located, I hope that he is okay.

Self driving vehicles and emergency assisted driving could make roads safer.
