S.D. FIREFIGHTER CHARGED WITH DUI WHILE OPERATING FIRE APPARATUS

     

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 A Madison (South Dakota) Volunteer Firefighter is accused of driving a city fire truck under the influence. 42-year-old Scott Johnson responded to a fire call this weekend and was arrested for DUI after leaving the scene. It all started when the Madison VFD was alerted early Saturday to a local business for a fire alarm going off, and a police officer was also dispatched. When that officer got to the scene, he noticed Johnson was there as well. Reports are that the officer and Johnson had "crossed paths" earlier in the night and the officer thought there was a chance FF Johnson was under the influence. So when the fire call was over the officer followed Johnson back to the firehouse where the officer confronted Johnson, gave him a breathalyzer test and arrested him for DUI. Johnson was driving a city fire apparatus at the time of the arrest. He has been suspended by the Chief.
