CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) - A Caldwell police sergeant arrested twice for drunken driving within three days has resigned from the city.
Caldwell Police Chief Frank Wyant on Monday told the Idaho Press-Tribune (https://bit.ly/2tp5TL3 ) that Sgt. Adam Matthews no longer works for the police department.
According to court records, a Canyon County Sheriff’s deputy on June 15 spotted a 2016 Ford Fusion cross over a double yellow line, which then swerved onto the road’s shoulder. The deputy pulled the driver over, allegedly identified as Matthews, and reported smelling alcohol.
Officials say Matthews failed a field sobriety test after denying drinking. A breathalyzer test showed Matthews with a blood-alcohol content of 0.19, over twice Idaho’s legal limit of 0.08.
Court records also show Matthews arrested for drunken driving again on Saturday.
Both DUI charges are misdemeanors.
