A Seattle police officer who shot a local attorney in Post Alley during a melee in 2006 —and later sued him—was arrested and charged with drunken driving in Grays Harbor County last month.

From the Seattle Times:

Officer Zsolt Dornay, 40, and his 33-year-old brother, Dustin Dornay, were arrested just after midnight on July 26 on suspicion of driving their motorcycles in Ocean Shores while under the influence of alcohol, according to the State Patrol.

Both have been charged in Grays Harbor County District Court and pleaded not guilty.

[T]he Dornay brothers were riding on Point Brown Avenue, Ocean Shores’ main drag, when a trooper stopped them for going 49 mph in a 25 mph zone.

Officer Dornay informed the trooper that he is a Seattle police officer, and the trooper’s sergeant contacted the Seattle department, Williams said, adding that Dornay “was being very cooperative” with the trooper who had stopped him.

Officer Dornay agreed to breath tests, which registered 0.149 and 0.172 percent blood alcohol, according to the citation filed in Grays Harbor County District Court. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.

  1. Why should it matter at all to the OS officer that the person he was detaining was also a cop? It seems like in a fair society, the local cop’s response would be “that’s nice” and then continue to investigate violations of the law.

    But apparently that’s some dream fantasy world.
