A Holden Beach police officer was arrested and charged with DWI in Shallotte this week for -- while driving his patrol car. According to the Star News, the charging officer reported that the driver was "very impaired." It is important to note that despite this information being published, the officer should be presumed to be innocent. That is the presumption that must be started with in each and every case, and is a deeply important Constitutional right afforded to all citizens, and one that is all too often forgotten about in this day and age.
The officer has a hearing set for early August.
