LAKEWOOD, Wash. (AP) — The Lakewood Police Department has launched an internal investigation after one of its officers was charged in October with drunken driving.
The Tacoma News Tribune reports Tuesday (http://bit.ly/sGZ9Uz) that 30-year-old Shawn Noble has pleaded not guilty in a Thurston County court to drunken driving charges.
The department says Noble, a seven-year veteran, was pulled over his personal car by a Washington State Patrol trooper after being spotted speeding and making an improper lane change.
The trooper arrested Noble on suspicion of drunken driving. He submitted to a breath test and reportedly blew 0.099 and 0.098. The legal driving limit is 0.08.
