A rookie Midland police officer resigned after being arrested on a public intoxication charge, according to the Midland Police Department.

CBS 7 has learned that Officer Nathan Garcia was arrested while he was out of town in September, 2016. He was charged with misdemeanor public intoxication.

Garcia had just graduated from the probationary officer program that same month before his arrest, a city spokesperson says.

Midland police then began an internal affairs investigation, during which Garcia resigned.

MPD said it did not do a formal release during the investigation:
