The officer did not have a choice. There was an outstanding warrant for his arrest and it came up during the records search.

We can expect in a small town where everyone knows everyone else, their kids go to school together and they see each other every Sunday morning that some kind of ride home might be arranged. But it is my understanding that ATL has a pretty tight policy about DUI; if true, once Brooks blew over the limit it was a done deal.

It has been reported that Brooks missed a parole appointment a few months ago. Did your source for the warrant information indicate at what point that info was conveyed to the officers?

One would think that info would have precluded the DUI determination, perhaps the officers were stalling for arrival of additional backup.

The guy being charges with murder is he the initial office that arrived on the scene with the perp sleeping in his car still in the drive thru lane, or was it the officer that arrived later that performed the DUI field sobriety test? Also which of those two officers had his taser stolen, and was it the officer with the taser stolen that shot the perp?
