They claimed that officer Irvin was staggering, slurring his speech, and standing in the road following an open door call. >> I don't really know what's going on. >> I'm not sure either. >> So, here's the thing.

When you got called over here, they said you were stumbling, sluring your speech. So, the our sergeant wants some medicics to come check you out. That's what we're waiting on right now.

If it's intoxication or it's a medical issue. >> Okay. >> He said he has a leg injury. So >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. They got blood. [Applause] So we were in by call and dispatch police owners requested their house to be checked because there was some sort of an open door. >> He came out I guess he was stumbling a speech was in the house for 20 minutes.

Um, >> you guys have body cams, right? Cuz I don't have anything on talk to the homeowners. >> We're rolling and we talked to the homeowners.

You have PvPs, do you? >> What's that? >> Do you have any PVPs? Um, we might have one at the station. >> I don't have one on me. >> Can you say again what you just told me?

You guys didn't have a PBT on you? >> No. >> We good? I was going to say we got everything. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. Mike, we're go back to the station. All right. >> Hop in the passenger seat. >> Officer Irvin was taken back to the police station where he was given a breathalyzer test. His blood alcohol level was 0.168. He was fired immediately and charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing official business, OVI, and having a weapon while intoxicated. However, it is likely he will end up in another department near you. Records show that Irvin resigned from the Toledo Police Department as recently as 2022 while he was under an internal investigation for three other alcohol-related incidents. All three were offduty crashes from 2017 to 2021 with the final accident resulting in a train crashing into his truck. He had a blood alcohol level of 0.32. Sustained findings included conduct unbecoming, willful violation and habitual drunkenness, but he resigned a day before an appeal hearing with the chief. The Wallbridge Police Department claimed they were unaware of his history when Michael was hired in 2023. And if you thought this was a rare occurrence, you'd be wrong. Our second story is from Thursday, July 31st, when multiple officers confront San Antonio police officer Paul Fenick at his desk. >> Okay, Paul. Yeah. Um, this officer Allison with the DWI unit. How you doing, Paul? I >> guess they've got more stuff they're working on right now. um authority of the chief's office. So um he's just going to talk to you a little bit here. Just listen to what he's got to say and we'll go from there. Okay. >> Okay. >> All right, Paul. At first, I'm just going to read you your rights. Okay. Before you ask any questions, is my duty as a police officer to advise you of your rights and wanting the consequences of waving these rights. >> You have the right to remain silent. You do not make a statement or written to anyone. Any statement that you make will be used as evidence against you in a court law at your trial. You have the right to have a lawyer present to advise you in a court law at your trial. You may have your own lawyer present or if feel unable to employ a lawyer to court will appoint a lawyer free of charge not at the time you want. If you decide to talk to anyone you can you can talk to stop talking to them anytime you want. The above right to continue right may be urged by any stage of proceedings. Paul do you understand his rights as I read them to you? >> Yes. >> Okay. Paul would you be willing to submit this field sobriety test. >> Field sobriety test. >> Yes sir. A standardized field sobriety test. >> Would you be willing to submit? >> I wasn't driving. >> Um evidently you have been driving I guess. So that's where this is >> I was in I was in the parking lot. >> Yeah. Yeah, I guess there's video of you driving. >> It is what it is. So, basically, this is the question that he's posing to you right now. So, it's up to you. >> You know, I mean, you see where this is going right now. So, it's it's just your decision to make. >> You could bring me to jail. >> I I don't know at this point. Right now, this he's just he just got here. So, we're just This is all just starting like right now. So, what >> happen? I don't know. >> He doesn't know right now. I just need to I just need to evaluate >> you know if I refuse I go to jail >> awful situation >> do we think he knew >> this family he didn't harm the girls two little girls that oh I can't even imagine what they saw in her and what they went through and what they're dealing with now but he didn't harm them. >> Yeah. You wonder if that comes from his background. People don't realize it. >> It doesn't seem that there's any connection between these parties. But >> nobody wants to be here, Paul. I promise you that. But we do have to make a decision on what you want to do. >> Well, I can't refuse. >> It's it's it's your choice. You can refuse to go to jail. >> You can refuse the P test at this point. What you do is all up to you. But right now, this isn't administrative stuff. So this is all you at this point. Paul, your supervisor out of the equation. It's it's really officer Allison. And again, like you said, nobody wants to be here, but here here we are. So moving forward, it has nothing to do with them. It's you either want to participate with the field test or you don't. >> But it's not it's not a supervisor issue at this point. >> Oh, you got rat out. Are we going to do this part or >> Yeah, I guess we'll do. I mean, what am I going to do? >> I That's your decision. >> Got no choice. >> So, come in here. >> Go follow you, Sergeant. >> All right, Paul.

Place your right foot touching heel to toe in front of your left foot. Arms by your side. I need you to maintain that position until I tell you to begin. Do you understand, Paul? Can I get a verbal yes or no? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. When I tell you to begin, sir, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps straight along that imaginary line. >> Um, as you're walking along that line, you're going to look down at your feet. Count your steps out loud. Uh, looking down at your feet. Once you start, you can't stop. Do you have any questions for me? >> No. Okay. So, whenever you're ready, you may begin. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 back >> as I instructed, sir. >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >> Okay, Paul. So, this is going to be the one leg stand.

Do you understand, Paul? >> Okay. >> Fensic adjusts his stance and tests each leg while receiving the instructions. This can also be considered a fail. >> When I tell you to, you're going to raise whichever foot you desire, your whole leg. Uh, left or right does not matter. It's your choice. And no, when I tell you again, Paul, hold on. you see which one I'm doing. >> Um, when I tell you to begin, you're going to raise whichever foot, left or right, does not matter. Approximately 6 in off the ground. That foot's going to be parallel to the ground. Your legs are going to be straight, arms by your side, looking down at your toe, and counting out loud just like this. 1 and 1,002 1003 until I tell you to stop. Do you have any questions, Paul? >> Okay. No. >> Give me one second. >> Whenever you're ready, Paul, begin. 100,0001 102 1003 1004 105 1006 1007 1008 109012345 1920 20. >> Okay.

He was arrested by the administering officer and booked into the Bear County Jail on a charge of driving while intoxicated while on duty. In a statement, Chief William McManis said he was deeply disappointed and called the conduct a clear violation of public trust. Fentic, an 18-year department veteran, has been placed on administrative duty. Let me know what you think of these officers conduct. And if you have a video you'd like me to review, you can submit it using the link in the pinned comment. [Music]
