Chief Michael Daley Arrested for Drunk Driving


Police Chief Michael Daley was arrested in North Hampton on drunken driving charges, the Portsmouth Herald reported today.

Daley has been placed on paid administrative leave and has announced he will retire June 1, though the latter was not attributed to his arrest.

Daley was arrested by North Hampton police at 1:41 a.m. April 11 and charged with driving while intoxicated and transporting alcohol, according to Lt. John Scippa of the North Hampton Police Department.

"I can’t confirm anyone’s employment, but I can confirm that a Michael J. Daley was arrested for DWI and transporting alcohol at North Hampton State Beach," Scippa said.

Asked what brought Daley’s vehicle to the attention of a North Hampton officer, Scippa would not comment.

"I can’t get into the details of the case because the matter is pending in court," the lieutenant said. "I can confirm the arrest and that his car was towed."
