Oklahoma police chief injures city official trying to stop him from driving patrol car drunk
Source: Raw Story
<snip>
A clerk called City Councilor Cody Gibby to report the chief was drunk and should not be driving, and the elected official said Woodruff was holding a can of beer when he arrived.
The two men argued as Gibby tried to wrestle the keys to the patrol car away from Woodruff, who state troopers said struck the city councilor several times as he attempted to drive away.

Woodruff previously pleaded guilty to DUI and open container charges in 2004, when he was Delaware County sheriff and had been driving an unmarked sheriff’s vehicle.
He was arrested for drunken driving again in 2008, when he was also charged with carrying a firearm while intoxicated.
City council members said they had been hearing the police chief frequently bought beer while driving his patrol car.
