Indiana Cop Arrested for Third DUI
An already suspended Indianapolis, DUI Sunday.
A trend has been sweeping the USA in recent years, where police officers are being arrested for drunk driving rather than being given a wink and a ride home.
Joshua Nygren was arrested on the far west side of Indianapolis after he ran a stop sign. Nygren reportedly told the arresting officer, “hey, I’m one of you.” He was arrested for DUI, resisting law enforcement, public intoxication and failing to obey a stop sign.
Nygren was previously arrested for DUI in 2005 and in 2006. The Indianapolis Police Department suspended Nygren after his second arrest. The IPD Chief of Police has recommended that Nygren be fired.

One of my friends on New years eve got arrested for DUI and resisting arrest. Stupid. But the thing is he is a police officer for Los Angeles county and hasn’t worked since that day. Does anyone know what the rules are for officers with a dui and resisting arrest? I think his situation sucks, he has learned his lesson, He shouldn’t drink and drive, but the mans career could be over, he’s only been a cop for 2 yrs has a 1 1/2 yr old and a mortgage, is he screwed?
