Veteran Officer George Benjamin Crashed Police Vehicle while Drunk


A Metro Police officer stands accused of public intoxication and driving under the influence.

A police report indicates other officers smelled alcohol on his breath and could see that he had "glassy eyes" and--that he had "urinated his pants."

46-year-old George Leon Benjamin, a 23-year veteran of the department, was driving a police vehicle that crashed into a fence surrounding Bryant Heating and Cooling at 7310 West Morris Sunday night.

A breath test showed Benjamin had a blood alcohol content of .15 -- nearly twice the legal limit.
