Metro detective arrested for drunk driving

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Metro Police arrested one of their own for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

Officers found homicide detective Jesse Beavers asleep behind the wheel of his squad car at the intersection of Guion Road and Industrial Boulevard on the northwest side.

They say the car was on and in gear but Beavers' foot was on the brake.

Officers said it took several attempts to wake Beavers.

A breath test showed Beavers' blood alcohol content at .16, twice the legal limit.

Beavers is on administrative leave pending an internal investigation, police said.
