Deputy Lt Joseph Guzdziol Arrested for Drunk Driving

MOUNT CLEMENS

A Macomb County Sheriff's deputy was arrested for allegedly driving drunk in Bay County over the weekend, officials said.

Lt. Joseph Guzdziol was arrested Friday night by Michigan State Police under suspicion of driving while intoxicated on US-10 near Three Mile Road near Monitor Township, just outside of Bay City, said Shanon Akans, a spokeswoman for the state police.

Guzdziol is head of the Macomb County Sheriff Office's Special Enforcement Team, which performs criminal surveillance, narcotics enforcement and vice operations.

Police received a 911 call about Guzdziol, who was driving erratically on the highway at about 11 p.m., Akans said.

He was arrested Friday night and then released on bond on Saturday, she said.

Guzdziol is scheduled to be arraigned at the 74th District Court in Bay City on the drunk driving charge March 6, officials said.

Other charges may be pending in the case, which has been turned over to the Bay County Prosecutor's Office, Akans said.

Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said Guzdziol, who has been with the department for 22 years, has been suspended without pay. He declined to comment further.
