Officer Kevin Brown Arrested for DWI

OSWEGO, N.Y.

A Fulton police officer has been arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in Oswego.

Officer Kevin Brown was ticketed for driving while intoxicated as well as leaving the scene of an accident after police say he hit a parked car Sunday night. Police arrested Brown at a Valero gas station.

Fulton Mayor Ron Woodward said he is aware of the situation and the matter is being investigated.

"We're not happy about it. But he's a human being. Made a judgment error obviously by getting in the vehicle after he consumed alcohol," said Woodward.

Officer Brown was not working Tuesday, but Fulton Police say it was his normally scheduled day off and they do expect him back later this week.

It is not known when Brown will appear in court.
