Officer Dawn Hodge Arrested

NORTH RANDALL

A North Randall police officer ends up behind bars. Early Saturday morning, Highland Hills police noticed a limo driving erratically near the intersection of Harvard and Richmond Roads.

After the limo pulled over, police say the passenger, Dawn Hodge pulled out her badge and then began screaming and yelling.

Investigators say Hodge, who is a North Randall police officer, refused to tell them her department. Police say it took several officers to arrest her. Hodge was booked into jail but was later released.

Neighbors like Rod Johnstone say, "Being an officer of the law, you should carry yourself in a situation where you don't bring shame or dishonor to your department."

"Everybody's human. No matter what position you hold, you're still a human being," says Ralph Williams.

No word on whether the limo driver will be charged.

Police say the officer will most likely face charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing justice.
