An officer in the South Carolina Highway Patrol has been fired after an arrest and charge of driving under the influence.
Lance Cpl. Lisa M. Lindler was stopped in her personal vehicle and arrested by Cayce police just after 10 p.m. Wednesday, according to State Public Safety Department Director Mark Keel.
In addition to the DUI charge, Lindler also faces a charge of having an open container of alcohol, Keel said.
Keel said a review of a videotape of the arrest assured him the dismissal was warranted.
"Each and every trooper knows first hand the deadly consequences of drinking and driving,” Keel said in a statement. “At the same time, it has been made abundantly clear to every trooper the personal consequences of indulging in behavior such as this," Keel said.
Lindler had served on the patrol for nearly 24 years.
