NYPD Officer Anthony Rodriguez, 27,
was suspended from the force after he was found passed out behind the wheel parked
in a no-standing zone near 183rd St. in the Bronx shortly before 3 a.m. on Thanksgiving, police said.
Rodriguez, who was the second
off-duty NYPD officer collared for DWI this week, was
behind the wheel with the keys were in the ignition. He refused a Breath-alyzer
test, but was slapped with a DWI charge because officers noticed his speech was
slurred and his eyes were bloodshot.
Rodriguez joined the force
four years ago and was most recently assigned to work in the court system.
