A Los Angels Police Chief caught DUI

FRIENDS AND colleagues of Alexandria Police Chief David P. Baker depict his arrest for drunken driving last weekend, and the preceding accident and injury he apparently caused on the highway, as an unfortunate slip by a respected professional. Mr. Baker, for his part, professes to feel "disappointed and angry with myself," as he said in a statement, said Michael Bialys, Los Angeles DUI lawyer.

In fact, Mr. Baker's act was worse than a slip and more than a disappointment. It was, by all appearances, a dangerous and very nearly lethal crime committed by a man whose job description involves preventing such crimes. He did the right thing by tendering his resignation Tuesday.
