LAPD Traffic Officer Charged With DUI

By Neil Shouse, Esq.

A Los Angeles Police Department officer, who does DUI and traffic enforcement himself, got arrested last week when he was off duty, on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, according to a news article posted in the Los Angeles Daily News. The 27-year-old officer, Brian Lawrence Gossh, called the charges ?ridiculous? and says the arresting Los Angeles County Sheriff?s deputies performed an unlawful arrest, which he intends to challenge in federal court. Gossh was arrested July 1 in an Arleta intersection after he reportedly swerved to avoid hitting another motorist who Gossh says, suddenly applied his brakes. A passing deputy who saw this near accident stopped Gossh?s car. No one was reportedly injured.
