APD officer Albert Arevalo, 37, got popped for a DWI Monday after he got pulled over for doing 91mph on MoPac and blew a .178 and a .163. He told arresting officers that he spent the night drinking six gin and tonics at three bars Downtown. Last April, APD Chief Art Acevedo issued a crackdown against officers drinking and driving, saying that first-time offenders are likely to be terminated.

Yep, fired: http://kxan.com/2015/09/25/austin-polic … r-may-dwi/

Good thing he didn't hit a bicyclist while he was drunk driving -- that might have got him off the hook.
