Arizona DPS officer cited in Tucson for extreme DUI

An Arizona Department of Public Safety officer has been arrested on suspicion of extreme DUI.
Theodore Edwards, 44, was not on duty at the time and he was in a privately-owned vehicle, said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.
Edwards was arrested Sunday after a couple noticed him having a hard time getting into his vehicle in the Park Place parking lot, Pacheco said.As Edwards was backing his vehicle out, he nearly struck the couple’s car, they told police.
The couple followed Edwards as he headed south on Wilmot Road, traveling at a high rate of speed and nearly striking a median several times, Pacheco said.
They called police when Edwards pulled into the drive through of a Taco Bell at East 22nd Street and Wilmot.
Officers responded to the Taco Bell around 9:40 p.m. and made contact with Edwards who was still in the drive through, Pacheco said.
They conducted a DUI investigation and cited Edwards on suspicion of DUI, DUI with a BAC above .08 and extreme DUI.
He was released to his DPS supervisor who was called to the scene, Pacheco said.
His vehicle — a white Ford Expedition — was impounded.
By law, the legal limit is .08. A charge of extreme DUI is imposed when a person has a BAC of .15 or greater.
Tucson police declined to release what Edwards BAC was.
