ATLANTA -- Investigative reporter Wendy Saltzman discovered more than 100 law enforcement officers have been arrested in Georgia for driving under the influence. Her investigation found some of them asked for favors, some wrecked department cars, and some were given special treatment.

"I think that is outrageous frankly," said police psychologist Dr. Anthony Stone. "I can't imagine their being fit for duty, because almost by definition they have a drinking problem," Stone said.

Habersham County Sheriff’s Captain Freddie Chapman has been arrested 4 times on alcohol related charges spanning back to an underage alcohol violation in 1988. His offenses also include three DUI arrests, all while he was a sworn law enforcement officer. Chapman was found not guilty on one DUI, pleaded down to Public Drunk on a second charge, and pleaded no contest on the third DUI charge.

"He has been convicted on only one DUI charge," said his current employer, Sheriff DeRay Fincher.

When asked how drivers should feel about being arrested for DUI by an officer who has been arrested for the same charges, Fincher responded, "He admitted he made a mistake and he was wrong."

"If there is a second DUI [arrest], [the Council] in most cases revokes that officer's certification," said Ryan Powell, the director of operations for Georgia’s Police Officers Standards and Training Council.

But that wasn't the case with Wendell Campbell or Donald Cloudt. Both DeKalb County officers have been arrested two times for driving under the influence and both are still working.

When asked if DeKalb police take drinking and driving seriously, spokeswoman Mekka Parish responded, "We take it very seriously. We hold our officers to a higher standard."

Yet our investigation found DeKalb police have more alcohol-related incidents than any other agency. Sgt. Michael O'Neal was allowed to resign in July instead of being fired for DUI. In a police dashcam video tape of the arrest obtained by CBS 46 News, O’Neal asked the other officer, “Brother to brother, will you cut me a break?” The arresting officer responded, “Absolutely not."

On the tape, O'Neal continued, "Others have put me in situations that are unprofessional, and I let it go." The officer asked: "You let a drunk driver go?" O'Neal responded, "Yes, I have." At that point, O’Neal was placed under arrest for driving under the influence.

Officer Benjamin Alcime was terminated after internal records show he came to work intoxicated and was "shooting crazy" at the DeKalb firing range.

"No one gets any kind of preferential treatment," Parish insisted. “They enforce the law, we can’t have them breaking the law.” She explained that some of these officers, like Delvin McKibbens, were reprimanded and their offenses were reviewed by a chief prior to the current administration.

McKibbens pleaded guilty, when police records show he was nearing the point of "blackout" and caused an accident, leaving the other driver hospitalized. McKibbens was only suspended by the DeKalb Police Department for one day.

"That kind of case strikes me as one where they have absolutely crossed the line,” Stone replied.

Four Atlanta police officers have also been arrested for driving drunk. A video obtained by CBS 46 News showed Officer James McGrath failing his sobriety test. That same night, police records show, he caused a three-car rollover accident. His arrest was caught on video.

Former Troup County Deputy Kevin Yarborough pleaded guilty to DUI in 2002 after he wrecked his county-issued patrol car. According to the police report, a crack pipe and rolling papers were also found in his vehicle. But Yarborough is back patrolling Georgia’s streets. "I don't think most departments I know would tolerate it," Stone said.

And police reports showed the former Clarkston Officer Neil Bullock fired his weapon out the window of his car, and got into a drunken driving accident with his children in the back seat. But less than two years later, he was back at his Clarkston job. Now he is working as a Snellville police officer.

"Every drunk driving offense should have the strictest penalty imposed," said Denise Thames, Georgia's executive director of Mother's Against Drunk Driving.

Thames said the average person drives drunk 100 times before they are even caught. "It is people making a choice to get behind the wheel impaired and put other people's lives at risk," she said.

Powell did not excuse the actions of the officers that the P.O.S.T Council supervises. "We do try to remove those unqualified officers from the profession, we just don't win every case," he said.

CBS 46 tried to contact all of the officers involved in this investigation and none of them would respond to our requests for an interview.
