Court appearance for off-duty officer charged with DUI delayed



An off-duty Durant Police officer charged with DUI had his next court appearance postponed until February,

Brandon S. Carbaugh, 36, was scheduled on yesterday’s misdemeanor disposition docket but the case was then set for Feb. 20. This is the second time the case has been postponed.

Carbaugh was charged in October 2013 for an Oct. 15 crash on Highway 91 near Achille. According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Carbaugh was under the influence of alcohol when he rolled his pickup.

He also was not wearing a seat belt, according to the OHP report. He was taken to the Medical Center of Southeastern Oklahoma to be treated for arm and leg injuries and released sometime later that day.

Carbaugh was placed on administrative leave, and Durant Police Chief Durward Cook said this morning there has been no change in that status.
