A Massachusetts State Trooper arrested Saturday for allegedly driving under the influence may have his charges dropped under a diversion program for military veterans.

Trooper Alfred G. Burgos, 35, was scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday afternoon. But a Peabody District Court judge continued the arraignment until June 20, pending an evaluation of whether Burgos is eligible for the Valor Act diversion program, the Essex District Attorney's Office said.

That program, established under at 2012 state law, allows district court judges to direct veterans with no previous convictions or outstanding warrants to treatment programs, rather than proceeding with criminal charges.

Burgos is a former Marine, the DA's office said.

The veteran trooper was stopped by another state trooper and arrested on suspicion of drunken driving at the Goodwin Circle Rotary in Lynnfield around 11:40 p.m. Saturday.

"The trooper located the vehicle at the rotary after State Police received calls from motorists reporting a white SUV being operated erratically on Routes 28 and 95," State Police said in a statement.

Boston 25 News reported that Burgos was arrested while driving from the Irish American Police Officers Association's annual awards dinner, where he was given a Medal of Valor for his actions in a 2016 Roslindale shootout with armed suspects.

Burgos was transported to the Danvers state police barracks, where he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, negligent driving and a marked lanes violation.

Burgos, who is assigned to the Division of Investigative Services, was relieved of duty pending a duty status hearing.
