The driver of the second car is identified as Deborah McKinney, 54, of Largo, Maryland.  Ms. McKinney was transported by emergency medical personnel to Prince George’s County Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the collision.

Just before 11:00 p.m. yesterday, the Maryland State Police Forestville Barrack was called by McKinney who reported her Cadillac DTS was struck in the rear by a Nissan Maxima.  She also said the male driver appeared unsteady on his feet prior to returning to his car and leaving the scene.  She was able to take pictures of the damage to both vehicles and the tag before the driver left the scene.

When troopers arrived on the scene,  McKinney showed them pictures of the tag and damage to the other vehicle.  A registration check through the Motor Vehicle Administration identified the owner as Howard County Police Officer Britton.

At the address of the registered owner, troopers contacted a male, later identified as Britton, who appeared to be unsteady on his feet.  Britton identified himself as a member of the Howard County Police Department.  Based on the troopers’ observations, Britton was arrested and transported back to the Forestville Barrack for processing.

When a police officer is busted for DUI, it means that another police officer was doing his or her job correctly.  Police officers who are convicted of hit and run and DUI should not rob banks either. Officer Britton might want to look for another job.
