A police officer in Montgomery, Alabama is facing a charge of driving under the influence after wrecking a patrol car. Corporal Fernando Martinez was charged over the weekend after the police department received a call about a crash at the Capital Beltway at approximately 11:00 p.m. The officer had driven the patrol car into a concrete structure. The car sustained only minor injuries, but fellow police officers administered field sobriety tests after detecting the smell of alcohol on Cpl. Martinez. Martinez, who has been a police officer in Montgomery for more than three decades, was suspended for the duration of an investigation into the incident. He was off-duty at the time of the accident.

Law enforcement official in North Dakota say that Vicki Bates, 49, tried to drive her vehicle onto a levee over the weekend.
