The DUI case against a Huntsville police officer has been dismissed months after his off-duty arrest by state law enforcement.

Justin Willis, a Huntsville patrol officer, was charged in February with driving under the influence of alcohol and five traffic violations, including speeding and driving without insurance. Each of the charges has been dismissed.

“The State no longer wishes to pursue this charge,” Madison County Assistant District Attorney Robin Drake wrote in court records this past week. “The State reserves the right to reinstate this case.”

Drake told AL.com she filed the motion to dismiss because Willis completed substance abuse counseling and entered a pretrial diversion program.

Willis also agreed to pay court costs and fees, records show.

Drake said Madison County prosecutors generally offer diversion to first-time DUI suspects who qualify.

“He didn’t have any prior DUI arrests,” Drake said.

Defense attorney George Flowers didn’t return a call for comment.

Willis remains on desk duty pending the outcome of a police department disciplinary hearing, said Lt. Michael Johnson.

Willis was arrested around 3:15 a.m. on Feb. 17, 2019 during a traffic stop by a state trooper, court records show.
