NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Metro police officer has been charged with a DUI in Marion County the same week two other Metro police officers were arrested and charged with DUI in Nashville.
A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper stopped Metro Officer Gregory Blackburn for speeding last December in Marion County in southeast Tennessee, and he was charged with DUI.
Metro police spokesperson Don Aaron said Blackburn was decommissioned following his arrest and is currently working in another area of the police department awaiting the outcome of his DUI trial. Blackburn, an officer at the department's Hermitage precinct, graduated from Metro's police academy in March 2008.
