Gulfport Police Chief Robert Vincent exchanged words with the deputy outside of the banquet, suggesting Szeliga was too inebriated to attend, which the deputy disputed.

 

After receiving a series of harsh words by cop, Vincent alerted Szeliga's supervisors that the deputy was "wasted."

 

After smelling the alcohol on his breath, the supervisor banished Szeliga back to his hotel room, forgoing the banquet and his award.

Did he drive drunk to the ceremony?

That's I want to know. It's obvious he has a problem but if he didn't drive then he still should have at least gotten his award.

I know I shouldn't, but I find this hilarious. :lol2:

 

As long as he wasn't driving. Nothing funny about that.

One could argue that he was going above and beyond the call of duty by actually illustrating why MADD is so important. Good job man :thumb:

From the article:

 

Most surprisingly of all, perhaps, is that since the incident occurred last month, Szeliga has been promoted to detective in the sheriff's office's crimes against children unit, according to WFLA.

Me too, and some of the best DUI arresting cops are also some of the biggest drinking cops.

 

Drinking is sort of "the one crime" cops get to commit all the time so you get pretty good at recognizing the signs.

 

Chief sounds like he is a drinker too.

What incident?

 

Or should I say, OMG, a cop got drunk on his own time at a celebration, lock him up, never promote him, the nerve!

It doesn't bother me. I go drunk everywhere as long as I have a ride.

That's kinda what I was thinking. If he didn't drive to the event drunk...Who cares?
