BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota’s Peace Officer Standards and Training Board has suspended the license of a Burleigh County officer who allegedly showed up to work just a few hours after drinking heavily.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that an internal department investigation concluded then-Lt. Casey Kapp in February violated the eight-hour policy for returning to duty after alcohol consumption. He was demoted to a detention officer, suspended for five days and ordered to seek an alcohol and mental health evaluation and treatment.
The board on Wednesday suspended Kapp’s peace officer license for six months. Kapp did not appear before the board.
Sheriff Kelly Leben said Kapp made a mistake but has been a good employee and might be considered for future promotion after a year of good behavior.
