Seattle Detective Arrested For Drunk Driving After Four-Car Accident


Posted on Nov 12, 2011

A Seattle police detective with a history of drunk driving has pleaded not guilty to a DUI charge following a four-car accident in Washington State in October.

 

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Daily Herald, 46-year-old John Fox was involved in a four-car accident last month while driving an unmarked SUV owned by the city. The detective, who has been part of the police force for the last 23 years, allegedly failed to slow with traffic and rear-ended the vehicle in front of him, which caused a chain-reaction crash involving two other vehicles. When police arrived on the scene, they noted that Fox was slow to perform tasks, had bloodshot eyes, and smelled of alcohol.

 

When searching the vehicle, police found one opened bottle of vodka as well as six small empty bottles of peppermint schnapps. Detective Fox allegedly apologized to the police officers and refused to take the field sobriety tests or the breathalyzer test.

 

The Seattle car accident, which occurred near the intersection of Chennault Beach Road and the Mukilteo Speedway on Thursday afternoon, did not result in any serious injuries.

 

Fox appeared in Everett District Court to plead not guilty to drunk driving charges. He was previously convicted of drunk driving in Washington State in 1994.
