Bad Cop: Anaheim cop notches three DUI arrests in a year – and is still on payroll




It’s no secret that some cops have a problem with alcohol. It’s a stressful occupation, the hours are long, and the job wreaks havoc with home life. As well, it’s easy for cops to get hurt on the job — making addiction to prescription painkillers another problem.

Quote from the article:

Schlueter, 37, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after crashing a 2010 Jeep Liberty into four parked cars – on his very own street in Costa Mesa, in the middle of the afternoon.

The crashes ripped the right wheel off the axle of Schlueter’s Liberty, according to Costa Mesa police Lt. Rob Sharpnack. The Liberty also suffered rear bumper damage, Sharpnack said.

Costa Mesa police officers arrested Schlueter on suspicion of driving under the influence and took him to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries, Sharpnack said. He gave a blood sample, but the results aren’t back yet.

That DUI arrest was strike three for Schlueter, a 13-year veteran of the Anaheim Police Department. But cops play by different rules, as we shall see, and three strikes don’t always mean you’re out.
