Officer charged with OWI given administrative leave without pay
The Fort Wayne Board of Public Safety today approved an administrative leave without pay for a city police detective charged with drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
Allen County prosecutors charged 36-year-old Brent A. Roddy of New Haven last week with two counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, one count of reckless driving causing serious bodily injury and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.
One of Roddy's fellow officers found him early March 27 walking away from the crash. He had blood on his face and a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.21 percent, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent, according to a police report.
According to the report, Roddy's vehicle left the south side of Rothman Road at the curve at Denise Drive. The vehicle struck a city sign post, then slid into an AEP utility pole. The vehicle sheared the pole off about two feet above the ground and caused a power outage to several homes.
