Not Available Lead

An NYPD officer was arrested for leading fellow officers on a drunken chase in Brooklyn Sunday night, authorities say. 

The New York Daily News reports that 30-year-old Shieed Haniff was seen driving recklessly, striking a car before busting a u-turn and hitting another, leaving people in both vehicles injured. Haniff, a seven-year veteran of the police force, also drove straight through a stop-sign, forcing other cops to dive out of the way to safety.

Haniff was arrested just before just midnight after finally coming to a stop in East New York. He was charged with DWI, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and refusal to take a breath test. He was released without bail, but not before his driving privileges were snatched away. 

This is not at all the kind of behavior Bill Bratton wants from his officers.
