A Metro Police officer arrested last month for drunk driving and possession of a gun while intoxicated resigned from the force today, police said.
East Precinct Officer John Cumberland was decommissioned by the police department on Sept. 24, one day after he crashed his unmarked police vehicle into a ditch on Newsome Station Road while off duty.
Cumberland, 32, registered 0.12% on a breath alcohol test. A person is considered legally drunk with a reading of 0.08%.
Police had been conducting an internal investigation of Cumberland. They say it ends with his resignation. He had been with the force five years, police said.
