Mass State Police Officer Suspended on Suspicion of Drunk Driving



[From article]
At the scene of the crash, a North Andover detective observed “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from Jenkins as he was speaking,” the report said. Jenkins told police at the scene he was driving and was a state trooper, but he would not disclose who the male passenger in Chevrolet Corvette was. Jenkins also wouldn’t disclose to cops at the scene where he was traveling to or from.
A detective on scene also found a gun in Jenkins’ waistband, a loaded Smith and Wesson 357 with five rounds in the chamber, police said.
[. . .]
Jenkins was suspended without pay indefinitely at a duty status hearing yesterday, state police spokesman Dave Procopio said today.
