BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - An off-duty police officer has been arrested in Connecticut after authorities say he was found sleeping in his vehicle intoxicated.
Brian Bonati, of Terryville, was charged Saturday with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was released on $500 bond.
Police say the 32-year-old Bristol police officer was found in the vehicle around 2:30 a.m. Officers had responded to a report of a stopped vehicle.
Police say Bonati failed roadside sobriety tests. They say he refused to take a breathalyzer test during the booking process.
Bonati is set to appear in court on Nov. 6. It couldn’t be determined Saturday if he’s being represented by an attorney.
