Navajo Nation police officer arrested for DUI
The Arizona Sun - February 20, 2009
A Navajo Nation Police Department officer was arrested in Flagstaff early Wednesday morning on super extreme DUI charges. According to Flagstaff police reports, an officer patrolling along North Fourth Street at about 1:30 a.m. noticed a vehicle traveling through a parking lot. The officer considered it suspicious. When the driver of the vehicle parked the vehicle, the officer illuminated the car and approached. The driver had an odor of intoxicating beverages on his breath. While the driver was performing tests, he mentioned he was a Navajo Nation police officer who worked out of Dilkon, was "screwed" and just wanted to go home. The Flagstaff officer stated that if he were indeed an officer, he should know better than to drive while intoxicated. The driver was taken to the jail and blew into an Intoxilizer. Carlyle Cooke, 26, of Winslow, was subsequently charged with a super extreme DUI, which means a blood-alcohol content above 0.2 percent. The Flagstaff police sergeant on duty called the NPD officer's superior to report the incident. The officer's police belt, duty weapon, police computer and other police property, seized from the vehicle he was driving, were placed into safekeeping. -- Sun staff reports

....what if someone got arrested by a Navajo Policeman, was degraded by the cop making derogatory remarks about your character to your face, not read your Miranda Rights, then taken to a scene of a shooting? All this, before you were even booked?! I think it happens waaaay more often than we dare to think....
