Owners of used Honda models in New Jersey might appreciate the irony of a recent incident involving a Pennsylvania State Police corporal.
John Quigg, a 24-year veteran with the state police who supervises DUI checkpoints, is currently facing disciplinary action following an alleged drunk driving incident last month.
Quigg, who is also a drug recognition expert, meaning he is trained to determine what illegal substance a suspect is on based solely on their behavior, reportedly crashed his Honda Accord into a guardrail on interstate 76 in the Philadelphia area. The accident was not believed to be of a serious nature.
According to a state police spokeswoman, Quigg was found unresponsive and slumped over in his vehicle. The 47-year-old Pennsylvania native was taken to the hospital where he was charged with driving under the influence and careless driving. He also allegedly had an open container in the vehicle, according to AOL Autos.
Corporal Quigg, who is currently in recovery, has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation, NBC.com reports.
