King County deputy on paid leave after two DUI arrests
KIRKLAND -- The King County Sheriff's Office has placed one of its deputies on paid leave after she was arrested twice in two days for allegedly driving while intoxicated.
The 28-year-old deputy, who has been with the department for four years, was arrested March 28 and again March 29 for two separate incidents, authorities said.
Kirkland police made the first arrest March 28 after the deputy reportedly crashed into a wall.
The next evening, the deputy was arrested a second time, this time by fellow King County deputies, sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.
She was not booked in either incident, he said.
The deputy was most recently assigned to patrol the King County Airport. When she was placed on leave last week, she was required to turn in her badge and department-issued firearm. She has not been charged with a crime.
The department is conducting an internal investigation, Urquhart said.
