SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – A Maintland officer cried, threw up, screamed and laughed in what troopers called a series of mood swings as he was being arrested on a DUI charge Wednesday night, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
When the vehicle was located, troopers said they noticed the driver, off-duty Maitland Police Department officer Lucas Patrick Holiday, had an open bottle of Olde English malt liquor in the car and was showing signs of impairment.
Records show the trooper who initially pulled Holiday over called his supervisor when he realized that Holiday was an officer.
Holiday, 26, said he had been in Sanford, although he couldn’t remember exactly where, and was on his way back home to Maitland, troopers said.
The Maitland Police Department said Holiday has been placed on administrative leave as a result of his DUI arrest.
