Memphis, Tn - A Memphis police officer is behind bars for DUI.
Monday morning MPD booked 31-year-old Roger Williams after he crashed into a fence on American Way near Perkins. It was a one vehicle accident and Officer Williams was the only one injured.
Williams came to a stop less than a hundred feet behind the home of a 88-year-old man with Alzheimer's.
According to the police report, Williams was headed west bound on American Way when he crossed traffic and kept going into a concrete embankment and a man's fence around 3:15 AM.
Responding officers said when they arrived on the scene, Williams was walking away from his vehicle and seemed unsteady on his feet.
Williams told them he was an off duty officer and had fallen asleep behind the wheel of his car. But, when investigators smelled alcohol on his breath, Williams confessed to having two beers.
Williams was charged with DUI and refusal to submit to a blood alcohol test. He's been relieved of duty with pay pending the outcome of MPD's investigation.
