Texas cop fired after alleged drunken driving

Dallas, TX

It is so rare nowadays that a cop is fired for driving while intoxicated, I guess this cop was fired for being passed out drunk behind the wheel of his stopped cop car.

Poor guy. If only he hadn't parked and passed out and just was sloshed and driving, he probably wouldn't have been fired.

A Fort Worth police officer accused of drunken driving is no longer on the job.

As the result of an Internal Affairs investigation, the Fort Worth Police Department on Thursday indefinitely suspended former Officer Clinton Wyatt, according to a news release.

The move stems from an April 5 incident in which Burleson police said they found the 32-year-old passed out behind the wheel of his marked patrol car.

Wyatt can appeal the decision through arbitration, the release stated.

Wyatt's DWI trial in Johnson County is still pending.
