Former Cop Pleads Guilty to DUI Save Email Print

A former Roanoke police officer has pleaded guilty to driving his police cruiser under the influence of alcohol in Pulaski County.

Police say 33-year-old Andrew Page was off-duty when he totaled the marked cruiser last month. The 2005 Ford Crown Victoria crashed into a guard rail on Interstate 81.

Page had worked for the Roanoke force for seven years. He no longer has a job there.

Pulaski General District Court Judge Glenwood Lookabill on Tuesday suspended a 90-day jail sentence, but restricted Page's driver's license for a year and placed him on probation.

Court documents say that a breathalyzer test shortly after the crash showed Page had a blood alcohol content of .16 percent, double the legal standard for intoxication.
