Original Article Deputy charged with DUI, put on leave ARIZONA DAILY STAR A Pima County sheriff's deputy is on administrative leave after the department's DUI squad pulled him over early Monday in the Catalina Foothills, officials said. Karl Kapferer, an 11-year-veteran who patrolled the Foothills area, was charged with driving drunk after he was stopped for a traffic infraction after 2:30 a.m. near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, a Sheriff's Department spokeswoman. Kapferer was driving his personal vehicle at the time. He was cited and released and will be on administrative leave pending the outcome of the DUI and internal investigations, she said. An internal affairs board was reviewing Kapferer for a shooting incident in July 2004. Kapferer fired his gun at Joseph Egan Jr., 33, who tried to run over Deputy John Pollitt. The deputies were told Egan was suicidal and may have used drugs. He was holding his ex-wife and two other people at knifepoint for two hours, Barkman said at the time. Egan was driving at a high speed into trees, fences and a gas meter and may have hit Pollitt, who was in the path of the vehicle with nowhere to go, she said. Kapferer fired one shot into the car but didn't hit Egan, who ran his car into another fence and tried running away before the deputies captured him, Barkman said.
