Cops are entrusted with maintaining sobriety on duty, but what happens when they're caught drunk on the job? Here are four times when idiot cops got caught drunk on their job.

And second of all, someone called said you were sitting on the side of the road slumped over, which you were. Yeah. Yeah. All right. This is Officer Scott Stevenson from the Midland County Police Department. On November 16th, 2018, around 400 p.m., Officer Stevenson was found slumbering in his Ford Fusion on M66 Highway, Midland County, Michigan. Officer Stevenson was found with his car pulled over by the side of the road. Deputy Ashley Vanslottton checks upon him where she is about to discover a dark truth about his condition. Sir, sir.

He hands Vanslottton his badge from the Midland County Sheriff's Office for his identification. Officer Stevenson refuses to take EMS or any sort of help. Observe what he has to say in his defense. How many drinks have you had today? Today. In the last 4 hours. Four. I don't know. In the last In the last 4 hours. Yeah. Yeah. It's It's 4:00. Little after about 4:30. They They took my watch off.

Deputy Van Slottton, accompanied by Officer Nelson Cannon, conducts field sobriety tests on Stevenson after he begs to be spared. However, after having done field sobriety and preliminary breath test, PBT, Stevenson's condition was obvious. Hands down your side. Counting out loud each step. 1 1,00 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 pivot.

Stevenson was taken to the local jail and then to Kasca Memorial Health Center for a blood sample, the results of which were not disclosed. Oh, Jerry. Well, you know what? Hey. Hey, man. Jesus Christ. I'm I'm I I know I know the situation I'm putting you in. I give me a try to help me out, man. I can't go to jail for 1950. Seriously, Nice. Mhm. And good. Obviously, Stevenson pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle while visibly impaired. The prosecution dropped the charge of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was fined $1,030, which he promptly paid. Additionally, the judge ordered Stevenson to one-year probation, including attending a victim impact panel, completing a drug and alcohol highway safety awareness program, undergoing preliminary breathalyzer tests, abstaining from alcohol, and avoiding establishments serving alcohol by the glass. If you think he was the only cop who got caught drunk, then you aren't aware of this next case. All right, just let me stay here. You can't. I'm going to ask you nicely to step out of this vehicle. Brian, my hands are tied. If I let you go, I'm going to lose my career over you. You don't think I wouldn't? This is Lieutenant Brian Philippia from the Washington County Sheriff's Office. On November 13th, 2016, Officer Philippia was pulled over by the side of the road in Mont Morreny County, Michigan. He was going over the legal limit as he had allegedly crossed over 90 mph. During the traffic stop, the deputy suspects the use of alcohol on him. Watch how the situation unfolds. Can I see your license? Stretch proof. [Music] Okay.

No. No. Out. No. We just have to out. The deputy who pulled Philippia over seems to be professional and urges Brian to stay lawful throughout the stop. However, Philippia expects special treatment for being a cop. No. Hold on, guys. One more time. Step out of the vehicle. No. One more time. You're going to get a taser. No. Can we talk about it? Step out of the vehicle. 17. Step it up. Talk about it. Step out of the vehicle. You're getting a taser. Back up. Taser right now. If you don't get out, make it look okay. Out right now.

Fipiac remains in denial of committing anything wrong while resisting and not following the officer's commands. Observe how the corrupt lieutenant reacts when the deputy asks him if he is willing to perform field sobriety tests. No, I'm not on your side. If you're on my side, you let me just go. No, I'm doing my job. You know that. Yeah. And I'm doing my job, too. Okay. So, if you're not going to do field sprite, that's turn around, place your hands in your back. You're under arrest.

Even after being arrested, Philippia kept resisting and repeatedly asked the deputy to favor him. He was initially charged with a misdemeanor for operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.17 or more. During the internal investigation, Philippia was placed on unpaid administrative leave. He remained employed on a conditional basis, fulfilling a support role with reduced compensation as reported by the department. If you think he was the only drunk cop resisting arrest, wait until you watch this next case. I haven't admitted that I'm drinking. No, you did up there at the car. You said you had a couple drinks. You have loaded firearm in the car. On top of all of this, I'm asking you to have a seat while I investigate this OVI and everything else that's involved. I know who you are and I understand, but I still don't have a choice. I have to address the situation as you're anyone else. This is Officer Kenneth Gouchi from the Sanduski Police Department. On September 24th, 2018, Officer Gouchi was pulled over by Erie County Police deputies for allegedly oversp speeding where he clocked 75 mph. As Erie County Sheriff Benjamin Sergeant approached his car, he immediately suspected the use of alcohol. Observe how the encounter unfolds. Evening. Hi. Driver's license. Drip insurance.

Gauchi, as noted by Sergeant Sergeant, became highly emotional and requested to be placed in handcuffs. While being escorted to the police cruiser, Gouchi was extremely upset and despite being given time to calm down, was unsuccessful in doing so. Observe what he does after being arrested. Ken, I know. All right, Ken, I know. All right, call I can call somebody. One of your brothers from the apartment. Anyone? anyone. I don't want to have anybody. Gouchi resorted to striking the cruiser with the handcuffs, leading to the necessity of physical restraint. Upon complying and entering the cruiser, Gouchi, according to Sergeant Sergeant, began striking the partition multiple times. Eventually, he ceased after consistent advisories. The resulting damages included numerous scratches inside and outside the cruiser. Okay. All right, buddy. Calm down. Have a seat. Let's have a seat for now. Have a seat. Ken, you're good. Ken. Ken. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Ken. Ken. Stay calm. Stay calm. Don't do this to us. Okay. Please. Come on, brother. Come on. Ken, calm down. Calm down, Ken. Okay.

Following this, Gouchi was transported to Ohio State Patrol 22 for a chemical test, revealing a reading of.169 g of alcohol per 210 L of breath. Sergeant informed Gouchi of his suspension, and after the test, he was smoothly taken to jail without incident. Gauchi faced charges of OVI, improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, vandalism, and speeding. Gauchi will be subject to a 30-day suspension with 20 of those days being unpaid. Additionally, he will forfeit 10 vacation days. As part of the disciplinary measures, Gouchi is required to consult with a behavioral health professional providing a release for administrative monitoring of his compliance. Moreover, Gouchi is mandated to complete 40 hours of unpaid community service within one year. If you think Officer Gouchi was wrong in his doings, then probably you haven't heard about the case of Chase Chiangi. How much have you had to drink tonight? Uh, not much. Not much.

Okay. This is Officer Chasei from the Norwich Police Department. On January 22nd, 2019, Officer Chiangi was asked to pull over in a traffic stop by Farmington police officers due to a minor traffic violation on Red Oakill Road in Farmington, New Mexico. Initially, it should have been a usual traffic stop, but things took a somber twist when officers from Farmington police suspected Officer Chiangi of driving under the influence of alcohol. Hi. Hey, how are you? What's up? What's going on, man? Hello. How you doing? How are you? I'm okay. How are you? Good. How are you? I'm all right.

I'm going to have you take standardized field sobriety tests. Okay? Can you do that? All right. Officer Chiangi is asked to step out of his vehicle and perform several sobriety tests.

Jangi did not pass a roadside sobriety test and was subsequently charged with driving under the influence. Additionally, he received a ticket for violating a stop sign. Following the charges, he was released on a $2,500 bond. It is astonishing to see cops getting caught drunk while being aware of the laws and being enforcers of it.
