ELM GROVE, Wis.
A 25-year-veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department is facing a drunken driving charge after his weekend arrest.
Elm Grove officers arrested Officer Dan Davis after finding him inside his car in a ditch on Friday night.
Davis was off duty at the time but he had his holster and gun with him when he ran off the road. That could lead to a criminal charge in the case.
The officers found Davis along Watertown Plank and Verdant Drive at about 2:30 a.m. Friday.
Police said that Davis had apparently been outside the vehicle trying to get it out of the ditch but then got back inside his car.
After officers got him out of the car, they saw he was wearing an empty holster. That’s when they said he explained that he was a Milwaukee officer.
The officers allegedly found his service gun in the snow.
Elm Grove police said he failed field sobriety tests and was arrested on charges of drunken driving.
A blood sample was taken but the results aren’t back yet.
Elm Grove Police Chief Jim Gage told WISN that Davis made no attempt to use his position as an officer to talk his way out of being arrested.
