The continuing epidemic of drunk and drugged up cops. Why doesn’t the federal government do something?


Visalia cop arrested again on DUI
Eric Woomer,

A former Visalia police officer has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, again.
Erica Martinez, 33, was arrested just after 3 a.m. Wednesday by California Highway Patrol officers. She was booked at Bob Wiley Detention Facility and was held on $10,000 bail. She was cited and released with a promise to appear in court later this summer.
Her blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit when arrested near Borderlinks Drive in Visalia.
"The investigating officer observed that the subject was displaying signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication," according to a CHP report. "Field sobriety tests were administrated, the subject was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and arrested."
The latest DUI arrest comes exactly a week after Martinez pleaded no contest to DUI charges stemming from an August 2013 DUI.
Martinez was arrested around 2 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2013 after California Highway Patrol officers responded to the scene of a crash in northwest Visalia. Officers Jesus Magdaleno Jr. and his partner, Robert Robledo, responded and found a BMW had slammed into a Jeep near Border Links Drive and Lombard Street.
The officers arrested the driver of the BMW, Martinez, on suspicion of DUI.
The lead officer on the case, Magdaleno, died just weeks later in Las Vegas while trying to stop a car thief. His death caused the District Attorney's Office to reevaluate the case against Martinez and 61 other arrests made by Magdaleno. The DA's office announced late last year they would proceed with charges.
Visalia police placed her on administrative leave and Martinez later returned to patrol. She was fired in May.
Martinez, who was charged with DUI and excessive blood-alcohol levels, was sentenced last week to three days in jail, 40 hours of community service, five years probation and classes to help prevent this from occurring again. It's not known if she attended any classes before being arrested Wednesday.
If Martinez is charged and convicted a second time, she could face a year in jail, hefty fines and 18 months in an alcoholic rehabilitation program, as ordered by the court. She will also likely lose her license for a year and will be ordered to install an alcohol-monitoring system in any car registered in her name.
The Visalia officer is at least the second member of law enforcement in Tulare County to face DUI charges since 2011. The most recent was Tulare officer Shannon Oliver, who was also fired shortly after charges were filed.
The ex-Tulare cop who wrecked her patrol car into a fence in Visalia pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges in June 2011, avoiding a public trial.

Oliver was sentenced to eight days in jail and five years of probation.
