Traffic Officer Charged With Drunk Driving
An off-duty Los Angeles police traffic officer was arrested Monday morning in the north Valley and charged with drunk driving and speeding, police Cmdr. William Booth said Wednesday.
George Ramos, 42, who has been a policeman for 13 years, was seen driving at excessive speeds at 1 a.m. Monday and was arrested, Booth said.
The Police Department will conduct an administrative review and evaluate whether the officer should be suspended, Booth said.
Booth declined to say how fast Ramos was driving, the exact location of the alleged infraction or the amount of alcohol found in the officer’s blood at the time of the arrest.
