RIE, Pa. (AP) — Police in Erie
have charged one of their own with drunken driving for an off-duty accident in
which the suspended officer allegedly rear-ended a fire truck that was backing
into its station on Thanksgiving.
Online court records don't list
an attorney for 28-year-old Gabriel Carducci. The Erie Times-News
(http://bit.ly/1rZHpQp ) reports he was mailed a summons Wednesday on charges
of drunken driving, careless driving and not yielding to a fire truck entering
a fire station and faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 15.
Police say Carducci was glassy
eyed and had a blood-alcohol content twice the state's legal limit for drivers
when he crashed about 5 a.m.
Police chief Randy Bowers says
Carducci was already put on leave Nov. 10 for another unspecified off-duty
incident that is being investigated by outside agencies.
Carducci doesn't have a listed
phone.
