A South Carolina Highway Patrol officer has been arrested in Spartanburg County, charged with DUI.
The SC Department Of Public Safety tells us Officer Leslie Hoover, who is from Lexington County, and works in the Insurance Enforcement Team of the Highway Patrol, was taken into custody at around 6:30 this evening.
Troopers stopped him on Interstate 26 at John Dodd Road in Spartanburg County, after a motorist called 911 to report a car swerving.
Two troopers pulled him over, and say he failed a field sobriety test.
Troopers tell us he was in his personal car, not a patrol car.
He has been booked at the Spartanburg County Detention Center.
Public Safety tells us, the Public Safety Director has taken steps to terminate Hoover.
