Ex-Officer Sentenced in Drunk Driving Case
- Share via
Former Inglewood Police Officer Jeremy Morse pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of drunk driving and was sentenced to three years’ probation.
Superior Court Commissioner Donna Groman also ordered him to pay fines and to participate in an alcohol-abuse program.
In 2002, Morse was videotaped roughing up a teenager at an Inglewood gas station.
A judge dismissed the assault case after two juries deadlocked on whether Morse had used excessive force.
