A Pueblo Police officer has been arrested for drag racing and suspicion of driving under the influence, however the officer in question hasn’t been charged with anything yet. The officer volunteered to take a urine test, and police are now waiting for the results of that test before they file any charges. Officer Brian Thurston was off-duty early Saturday morning when he was spotted by an on-duty officer apparently drag racing with another vehicle. When Thurston was pulled over the on-duty officer noticed alcohol on his breath. Thurston was given a breath test about an hour after the incident. At that time he registered a 0.078, just under the legal limit of 0.08. Police say Thurston will likely be charged with speed exhibition after the results come in, regardless of what his alcohol level turns out to be. The officer has been put on administrative leave until all the charges have been filed. The other driver involved has been ticketed for speed exhibition. www.kktv.com/news/headlines/5769136.html
