Oklahoma City police say an off-duty officer is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into his arrest on New Year's Day.
Authorities say Logan County sheriff's deputies found Michael Dawson crawling out of a wooded ditch along a rural road while intoxicated and clothed only in a T-shirt, shorts and a single shoe.
Oklahoma City police Capt. Patrick Stewart alleged Monday that Dawson, an 11-year veteran patrol officer, was drunk and kicked out the back window of the patrol car during the incident.
Stewart says he was booked into the Logan County jail on a misdemeanor public intoxication complaint. He has not been formally charged.
A deputy at the Logan County jail said Dawson was released from custody on Friday. She didn't know if Dawson had a lawyer.
