PORTLAND, Maine — An intake sergeant at Maine’s Cumberland County Jail has been charged with drunken driving.
Gorham police pulled over 42-year-old Jennifer Slocum on Saturday. Sheriff Kevin Joyce told The Portland Press Herald that she does not drive a vehicle as part of her duties so there’s no immediate effect on her job.
He says there will be an internal investigation once the case is resolved.
A court date has been set for Nov. 14. Slocum couldn’t be reached at the jail Wednesday, and it was unclear if she had retained an attorney.
If it is her 1st OUI she should be treated just as anyone else would be and no, she should not lose her job.
Admissions means cavity searches. interesting job. no wonder she drinks.
But if she is found guilty she will lose her job. No criminal records to work in jails from what i have been told
I’m to tired to look into it but you could be correct.
OUI isn’t always criminal.
Yes it is. Minimum class D misdemeanor.
A court officer (takes them to court) got arrested on Congress street for punching a women and he still works there in Portland….
Well isn’t that a fine how do you do!!!
bfd. MOST PEOPLE DRINK AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE DROVE DRUNK…PEOPLE WITH A BIG MOUTH ABOUT IT JUST HAVEN’TGOT CAUGHT.
Spoken like someone who didn’t take very long before they got caught.
…LIKE BANGOR BULLY (SEE KNUCKLE DRAGGER’S COMMENT BELOW)
…
Why is this news??
Suppose if she were a waitress her name would be in the news?
So people such as yourself can waste their time making a stupid comment. They do it all so you can complain about how useless of a new story this is.
Well, she can sign herself in when she does her 10 days.
you really think she will actually do any time?
If i am correct if they are found guilty, they will have to do 48 hours
no the 48 hours is on the second arrest.. First is a fine and loss of lience for 90 days….
I got arrested for OUI..(not a proud moment) my BAC was .09….. So I was arrested… The story does not say her BAC level .
What is this!?!? Another case of “them” protecting their own? Oh, never mind. She WAS charged.
