Two off-duty Hurst officers are on administrative leave after they were pulled over, and one was accused of drunken driving in downtown Fort Worth.
According to a Fort Worth police report, Steven Barringer, 27, was pulled over by an officer after he had swerved between two lanes and then almost hit a stopped car at a red light in the 100 block of E. Seventh Street on Friday. He had been given a sobriety test but refused a breathalyzer test.
Barringer was taken to Mansfield jail on suspicion of drunken driving and released Friday on $500 bail, the Associated Press reported.
Barringer had denied drinking but later admitted that he and a second officer, Jacob Eubank, had been out celebrating Eubank’s promotion to corporal at the Library Bar, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
