Officer Keith Moody Arrested for DUI

Meridian Police Department patrolman Keith Moody, who was recently acquitted of charges he contributed to the delinquency of a minor in connection with an incident involving alcohol that reportedly occurred in July, was arrested and charged with DUI early Friday morning.

MPD Chief Benny DuBose confirmed Tuesday afternoon Moody had been charged during the incident. Moody, who was not on duty at the time of the arrest, had been back on the police force after his acquittal Sept. 2.

"He was put back on a shift about a week after his court hearing concerning the earlier charge," said DuBose.

Asked what impact this latest charge would have on Moody's law enforcement career with the MPD DuBose said, "We will have to wait to see if he is convicted on this charge. If he is convicted then he can't drive."

Moody is still on the force pending the outcome of his court hearing.
