Officer Dan Jacob Davis Arrested for OWI

ELM GROVE

An off-duty Milwaukee police officer was arrested Friday for operating while intoxicated in the village, and a criminal investigation continues into allegations his gun fell from his holster while he searched for identification following a one-car accident.

Dan Jacob Davis, 51, of Milwaukee, was arrested around 2:30 a.m. Friday in the area of Watertown Plank Road and Verdant Drive. Elm Grove police officers came upon a car driven by Davis that was in a ditch, said Elm Grove Police Chief Jim Gage.

Gage said a gun fell out of Davis’ holster when police officers were searching for identification. At that point, Davis identified himself as a Milwaukee police officer, Gage said.

The gun was later found outside the vehicle where it fell in the snow, according to preliminary Elm Grove police reports.
