Multiple US Officers Arrested for DUI Following Crashes in Oklahoma, Alabama

Two off-duty police officers have recently been arrested for DUI incidents, raising concerns about law enforcement conduct and road safety. PC Phelps, who was still on probation, was found nearly twice over the legal alcohol limit and received a 12-month driving ban, a fine, and was found guilty of gross misconduct that would have led to dismissal if he had not resigned. In Huntsville, Alabama, Officer Scott Hartman was arrested after a two-vehicle crash; he showed signs of impairment and has been placed on administrative assignment per department policy. Additionally, Tulsa Police arrested Thang Kap for a second offense DUI after he rear-ended an unoccupied patrol car, with no injuries reported. Police departments emphasize the dangers of drunk driving and encourage responsible alternatives such as designated drivers or rideshare services. These incidents highlight ongoing concerns about impaired driving among law enforcement personnel and the risks posed to public safety.
