The Anchorage Police Department moved a police officer to ‘administrative duty’ after a DUI arrest and triple-digit speeds
45-year-old Lucas Deborde was going 122 mph on Interstate 64 and weaving in and out of traffic. Fortunately, Deborde’s dangerous road antics were short-lived, and Louisville Metro Police Department officers pulled him over. However, upon stopping the speeding motorist, the LMPD officers noted that Deborde “smelled of alcohol” and was “stumbling” to stay on his feet.
To add to the scandalousness of the situation, Deborde is a current law enforcement officer with the Anchorage Police Department.
