Pinellas County Deputy Wade Nordby, 41, has been arrested for DUI.
The Dunedin Fire Department and Pinellas County Sheriffs Office responded to a single vehicle accident on Alt. US 19.
The accident took place in a construction area. As part of the road work, the construction crews had placed the concrete barriers along the road.
I know those barriers are in place for the safety of the highway workers and they need protection, but I have always wondered how much more damage they cause to the vehicles involved in the accident, with the angles of the barriers, one would think they would flip a car right over.
Well this deputy got to experience this first hand. Nordby hit the barrier and flipped right over.
Nordby was lucky and was able to escape that accident without serious injury.
But his luck wasn’t long lived so to speak, one of his fellow deputies had to arrest him for driving under the influence.
Now one has to wonder if they are going to place him on administrative leave with pay.
I hope they don’t pay him for drinking and driving.
I don’t know what would be worse, to be a police officer and get arrested for something so stupid or being a co-worker and having to arrest one of my own for something so stupid.
As we all know though, stupid equals a quick arrest.
Sadly this deputy may have lost everything (career, way of life, etc.) for a fun filled night of drinking and driving.
Sadly this deputy could not live by the simple motto of Don’t Drink and Drive.
