MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An officer is seeing the other side of the law after he was arrested Friday night.

Police said Jonathan Linton, 35, was on-duty when he hit a curb at Adams Avenue and Dunlap Street shortly after 9 p.m.

He was in his squad car when it happened, police said. The collision caused damage to the tires on the right side of the car.

Officers said they noticed Linton had bloodshot eyes and smelled slightly of an intoxicant.

He was arrested and charged with DUI, failure to exercise due care, public intoxication and refusal to submit to a BAC test.

He has been relieved of duty pending an internal police investigation.

Director Rallings offered the following statement, “While I’m am disappointed in the choices made by Officer Linton, I hope that the citizens of Memphis see that no one is above the law. Officers identified that Linton was possibly under the influence and took action.”

Linton has been with the department since 2009.
