Indianapolis - Officers were dispatched to an accident Friday around 8 p.m. on the ramp from I65 northbound to 29th involving a Indianapolis police officer.
Further investigation revealed that IPD Officer Michael Greene was driving his marked police car and struck another vehicle that was stopped at the light at the bottom of the exit. Neither driver was injured.
Marcella Pullins, the driver of the vehicle that was struck, advised the IPD supervisor on the scene that she suspected that Officer Greene might be drunk.
The supervisor offered Officer Greene a portable breath test that he took and it registered .20 BAC.
A DUI Task Force Officer was dispatched to the scene to complete the investigation.
Officer Green told the investigator that he had stopped his car at the bottom of the ramp and then looked down at his cell phone and proceeded forward before the van in front of him pulled into traffic.
Officer Greene at that point declined to take a field sobriety test offered by the investigator, but he did agree to take a certified breathalyzer test. The test resulted in a reading of .15 BAC.
He was transported to the Arrestee Processing Center after being arrested for two class A misdemeanors. Office Greene was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content of over .08.
