Officer Zsolt Dornay Arrested for DUI

Grays Harbor County, WA

Sometimes irony is not lost even on somebody who has the audacity to shoot an unarmed man in a dark alley and then try to sue the shooting victim. Seattle Police Officer Zsolt Dornay was arrested last month for DUI while driving his motorcycle in Ocean Shores, Washington. The arrest was made by the Washington State Patrol.

Dornay, somewhat infamous for shooting Seattle DUI Attorney James Walker in Seattle's Post Alley in 2006, faces DUI charges in Grays Harbor District Court.

Dornay has been placed on administrative reassignment while an internal investigation at the Seattle police department is conducted.

According to police reports, Dornay, and his younger brother, were stopped for going 49 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone. Both men admitted to drinking and agreed to perform field sobriety tests.

Zsolt Dornay's breath alcohol level registered 0.149 and 0.172 percent. While both results exceed Washington State's legal limit of 0.08 percent, the difference in the two results illustrates how fickle DUI breath testing can be. To Dornay's credit, he could have refused to take the test.
