A newly sworn officer of the Louisville Metro Police Department has been fired after he was arrested for DUI.
Luis Rodriguez, 36, had graduated from the Louisville Metro Police Academy on Friday and was scheduled to work his first patrol shift on Sunday.
On Saturday, Louisville Metro Police was called to the scene of a non-injury crash at Frankfort Avenue and McCready Avenue. Officers found several parked cars that had been struck by a vehicle.
When officers checked on the driver of the vehicle involved, they found Rodriguez in the driver seat of his car and determined that he was under the influence of alcohol.
Rodriguez was arrested and lodged in the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
After learning of the arrest of Rodriguez, Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel immediately fired him.
