Fort Worth Police Officer Arrested On Suspected DWI. His name is Nicolas Ramirez. He works in traffic, blew twice the legal limit, and, among other things, severely let down his chief, Jeff Halstead:

I will update the board every day in 2013 with the focus statement of: ‘____ days since our last off duty arrest.’ My goal is that on December 31st, 2013 the number on this board is 365!!”
