This past weekend, after having a few alcoholic beverages, a gentleman decided to get behind the wheel of his car in Fresno, California.  This gentleman, unlike many other people couldn't claim that he didn't know the rules about drinking and driving, let alone the necessary amount one must consume to be arrested for a DUI.  Such a defense was not possible, as the person who was pulled over for drining was an off-duty Fresno Sheriff.

Specifically, the 27-year old Fresno Sheriff crashed his Porche into the rear of a pickup truck.  This automobile accident occurred near Herndon and Maple Avenues shortly after midnight on January 17, 2009.

As a result of this auto accident, there were no major or severe injuries suffered.  Witnesses at the scene of the car accident stated that the Fresno Sheriff fled the scene.  Shortly after this Fresno hit-and-run car accident, Fresno police located the Sheriff and administed a sobriety test.  The Fresno Sheriff failed this sobriety test, and was taken into custody on suspicion of drunk driving and hit and run charges.
