Quote: | A Piqua police officer is on administrative leave after wrecking his patrol vehicle while he was under the influence of alcohol over the weekend. Officer Justin W. Augustine, 38, of Troy, reportedly struck a a flat-bed semi-trailer loaded with concrete barriers used to separate lanes in road construction areas.
An officer observed that Augustine’s eyes “were bloodshot and red and that his speech was slow and slurred,” according to police reports. A Four Loko Gold 14 percent alcohol per volume malt beer can was later located in the driver’s door of Augustine’s personal vehicle. An empty can of the same beverage was also found near the crash scene.
The Piqua Police Department attempted to have Augustine go to the Upper Valley Medical Center to undergo a drug and alcohol screen due to being in an accident with a city-owned vehicle, but he refused. Augustine reportedly admitted to drinking alcohol earlier in the day, but he refused all OVI tests and was placed under an Administrative License Suspension. |
