Chief of California Fire Agency Busted on Suspicion of California DUI

California’s Fire Protection Service Chief, Del Walters, has been arrested on charges of driving under the influence in CA. According to an August 25 news release out of Sacramento, the incident occurred Friday afternoon after a California Highway Patrol officer pulled Mr. Walters over in his Nissan 350Z.

For 35 years, Mr. Walters dedicated himself to protecting Californians and making the environment safer. Following his arrest and detention at the Plumas County Correctional Center, he issued a written apology to the state's citizens, saying “to all Californians, I acknowledge that this incident contradicts my entire professional career dedicated to public safety.”

So far, Mr. Walters' supporters, such as the head of the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection Unit, have rallied around the beleaguered chief. It remains to be seen how his California DUI case will be prosecuted.
