Drunk Cop Totaled His Cruiser, Then Refuses Drug/Alcohol Testing!

PIQUA, Ohio (WDTN) – For the first time we’re seeing the dramatic exchange between Piqua police officer Justin Augustine and a fellow officer, moments after Augustine allegedly crashed his police cruiser while intoxicated.

The video from Saturday night at the Piqua police station shows an emotional, tense, and allegedly intoxicated officer Augustine trying to leave and drive home. Earlier in the night the uniformed officer crashed his cruiser into a flatbed trailer; now he was refusing to take a drug and alcohol test.

The 9 minute video starts with an unnamed officer entering the station and taking Augustine to the garage. “When you total a vehicle you have to go down to do a drug and alcohol assessment, everyone who wrecks a cruiser has to go down there.” But Augustine refuses. Then this exchange: “I’m done.” “Are you going to go with me to take the test, Augie? You’re refusing it? You don’t want to do that.” Posted by Abdul
