A Mendocino County sheriff’s deputy will be charged with driving under the influence following a solo-vehicle rollover on Highway 101 Tuesday night, according to the CHP.
Deputy Tim Goss, 34, was off duty, driving a pickup on Highway 101 south of Willits at 8:30 p.m., when he apparently lost control of the vehicle, CHP Officer Marian Holcomb said.
Goss was cited at the scene for driving under the influence. Goss did not require hospitalization, Holcomb said.
He was released to the custody of another person, she said.
Sheriff Tom Allman said he would not comment on the incident other than to say Goss, who’s been with the department since December 2004, is on paid leave. “It’s a personnel matter,” he said.
how the fuck do you get paid leave and a ticket for a dui?
