A Topeka firefighter still drives a firetruck after accepting a diversion agreement in which he admitted to first-offense driving under the influence of alcohol.

Fire Department apparatus operator Jacob Daniel Torrez and assistant Shawnee County district attorney Todd Love on Jan. 29 signed and reached a diversion agreement to resolve charges prosecutors had filed against Torrez of DUI, driving without vehicle registration and failure to wear a seat belt.
