On May 3, an officer was conducting a traffic stop along South Park Road when a passing car hit him. He was injured in the incident.
Police arrested 67-year-old Richard Caporal when they stopped him and a different officer smelled alcohol on his breath. In 2011, a judge called Caporal a “highway terrorist” after his 14th DUI.
The driver was detained by police and there’s currently no word on the officer’s condition.
