Gareth Braxton-Johnson was off-duty Dec. 15 when he drove his personal vehicle to the station after a night of drinking at Next, a club in Old Town Scottsdale. Officers found him about 2:45 a.m., parked near a four-way stop at North 75th Street and East Second Street. Braxton-Johnson's blood-alcohol content was 0.174 percent, more than twice the limit at which one is legally presumed to be drunk. No officer saw him driving, but Braxton-Johnson admitted to officers that he had driven to the station. He was scheduled to work eight hours later, so his supervisors told him to take a vacation day, and they decided to launch an investigation into his conduct. He was not cited for DUI. The investigation found that Braxton-Johnson "used poor judgment by choosing to drive after consuming several alcoholic drinks . . . within 10 hours of his next work shift start time." Braxton-Johnson previously received an 80-hour suspension for failing to honestly report overtime. He also was reprimanded for excessive tardiness, violating the department's pursuit policy, failing to appear in court and failing to secure equipment.
