Officer Sean Gilhuly Arrested After Drunk Driving

An Orlando police officer was arrested Tuesday for the second time in a
month.

Sean Gilhuly, 30, was arrested in Orange County on a charge of
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon — a motor vehicle, according to a
 police spokesman.

Orlando officers would not give details other than to say they are
investigating Gilhuly on suspicion of leaving the scene of an off-duty
crash.

They would not say whether Tuesday's arrest was related to Gilhuly's DUI
 arrest Jan. 19 in Oviedo. Police there said they found an open bottle
of peach vodka in the passenger seat of his sport utility vehicle.

A passer-by told a dispatcher that Gilhuly had sat through two green
lights and appeared unfit to drive.

Gilhuly was charged with criminal mischief because investigators say he
kicked out the back window of a patrol car after his arrest, a police
report shows.

He also was ticketed on charges of improper stopping or standing and
having an open container of alcohol.

Gilhuly remains suspended with pay while an internal investigation is
conducted. He was hired Sept. 12, 2011.
