First, let me just say that headline should win an award. Seriously. Now, the story:
Sometime after 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 26, Officer Bryan Stuck found himself in the hospital after crashing his truck. According to reports, he had crossed the center line, smashed through a guardrail, and sent his vehicle airborne finally coming to rest on private property.
Prior to the accident, Stuck had been at Athena's Bar and Grill in the Village of Climax, Michigan. Surveillance video shows Stuck's 2006 Dodge Ram pulling out of the parking lot at 2:33 a.m.
As his reported blood alcohol content would suggest, Stuck was there getting super-drunk. Literally.
In Michigan, driving with a BAC twice the legal limit is a violation of their aptly-titled super-drunk law, which constitues another charge on top of the standard DUI.
Stuck, an Officer in the Sturgis Police Department, was treated and released from the hospital.
Initially Sturgis police said he was off-duty due to the injuries he sustained in the crash, but was tenatively scheduled to return to work the following week.
However, after Newschannel 3 aired the story, Sturgis police reported he had been placed on paid administrative leave.
On Friday afternoon the Deputy Chief said his department isn't ready to make a comment regarding the case, because Officer Stuck has yet to be notified of the charges.
He is expected to be arraigned early next week.
