Doraville Police Officer FIRED for DUI

Local news stations have been reporting that Doraville police officer, Kasey Lindsay, was fired from his position as a DUI officer for the City of Doraville after being charges himself with a DUI. According to reports, last weekend, Officer Lindsay had left a Doraville strip club and rear ended a vehicle driven by a 69 year old woman on Memorial Drive in DeKalb County Georgia. The woman sustained injuries and DeKalb County police responded to the scene. The DeKalb officers began to suspect Lindsay of being under the influence of alcohol, though he stated the accident was caused by his dozing off.

Lindsay submitted to DUI field sobriety evaluations such as the HGN, walk and turn, and one leg stand. According to DeKalb County police reports, Lindsay had difficulty with these DUI tests. He reportedly took a breath test that yielded a result of .15.

Lindsay was placed on leave by the Doraville police department following his arrest and the decision then came that he was terminated from the force. Lindsay is facing four charges currently in DeKalb County and awaiting his arraignment date. His charges are DUI, following too closely, not having valid registration and for not having proof of car insurance.

DeKalb County is tough on DUI and a skilled DUI lawyer can help. Lindsay is facing prosecution for DUI by his former Doraville and DeKalb County collegues. According to WSB news, neither Mr. Lindsay (nor any DUI lawyer on his behalf) have not issued any comments relating to the DUI arrest or the termination.
