Quote from the article:
Phoenix Officer Seth Samuel Castillo was found on Jan. 3 "slumped over" behind the wheel of a black Jeep Commander, which was blocking an intersection in his Gilbert neighborhood, according to a police report. It took Gilbert police several minutes to rouse Castillo. When he finally came to, he mumbled "mostly unintelligible words, some of which sounded like 'kill you,' " according to the report. A Gilbert police officer ordered Castillo out of the vehicle and told him to put his hands on the car. Castillo reportedly dropped his arms, and the officer, fearing he might draw a weapon, shot him in the back with the Taser, according to the report. Castillo fell to the ground, and the officer called for backup. Castillo then revealed that he is a Phoenix police officer. Lab results showed that Castillo had a blood-alcohol content of 0.173 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent. |
