BURLESON: Drunk Cop Falls Asleep In Patrol Car

BURLESON — An off-duty Fort Worth police officer was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after he was reportedly found passed out behind the wheel of his marked patrol unit at a Burleson intersection Sunday.

Clinton Wyatt, who began with the department in January 2003, was released from the Burleson city jail Sunday after posting a $1,000 bond, said Sally Ellertson, a spokeswoman with the city of Burleson.

A patrol officer assigned to the crime response team, Wyatt has been placed on restricted duty and is not allowed to carry a badge or gun pending the outcome of the investigation, said Lt. Paul Henderson, Fort Worth police spokesman.
