An off-duty Florida police officer was arrested after deputies allegedly found him stopped in the roadway while driving under the influence following reports of dangerous driving.

According to the authorities, deputies responded during the early morning hours after receiving reports of a vehicle traveling the wrong way and striking curbs. When they located the car, it was reportedly stopped in the roadway with its engine still running and the driver seated behind the wheel.

Deputies repeatedly instructed the driver to shut off the vehicle and exit. Court records allege the driver instead remained inside with his hands outside the window, telling deputies he was frightened before eventually getting out of the vehicle. After being detained, the officer allegedly identified himself as a member of a local police department and told deputies they were “on the same team.”
