- *Nine minutes of footage from this video were published roughly one year ago when the Piqua Police Department proactively disclosed the footage to a local news station. This is the first time that the entirety of the footage is available for public view.*
The following is excerpted from a supplemental report written by Lieutenant Rick Byron of the Piqua Police Department:
"On October 27, 2018 at approximately 1937 hours I was requested by Officer Justin Augustine to meet him behind the old Board of Education Office at 719 E Ash Street. Officer Augustine made the request over the radio.
Upon arrival in the area I observed Officer Augustine's patrol vehicle (P145) parked next to a flatbed semi-trailer loaded with concrete barriers used to separate lanes in road construction areas. Officer Yingst was also present as he had been previously requested by Officer Augustine to meet him at this location to talk.
After exiting my patrol vehicle I was approached by Officer Augustine. Officer Augustine stated "I was trying to take a piss over there. " Officer Augustine was pointing toward the Southeast corner of the building. Officer Augustine was asked to repeat what he said and he again stated "I was trying to take a piss over there." I asked Officer Augustine why he was telling me this and he advised "Because I f’d my cruiser up." From where I parked and the location I was speaking with Officer Augustine I could not see any damage to his patrol vehicle.
Officer Augustine walked me to the passenger side of his patrol vehicle where I observed significant damage to the entire passenger side starting at the front windshield and ending on the rear quarter panel. The windshield and both passenger side door windows were broken. I asked Officer Augustine what happened and he stated "I was trying to take a piss," I asked Officer Augustine how fast he was going and he stated 20 mph.
While Officer Augustine was gathering his personal backpack and other items I observed him drop a handcuff key on the ground. I advised him he dropped it and he was unable to bend over to pick it up and fell forward stepping over it. Officer Augustine never picked up the key so I picked it up and handed it to him
After Officer Yingst left with Officer Augustine, I photographed the damage to P145 and the trailer that was struck. I had previously had dispatch contact Lumpkins Towing to pick up the patrol vehicle and take it to their shop to be placed inside. While the tow truck operator was on scene Officer Yingst arrived back and advised that he felt I needed to go on station to deal with Officer Augustine as he appeared to be impaired and was demonstrating odd behavior to include hugging and kissing him and other officers and telling them that he loved them."
Officer Augustine resigned. He was later found guilty of first-degree misdemeanor weapon under the influence, amended down from fifth-degree felony improper handling of firearms in a motor vehicle, and first-degree misdemeanor physical control of vehicle while under the influence, amended down from an OVI. He was sentenced to one year of probation, 177 days of suspended jail time, a $300 fine, and court costs, plus an additional three days in jail, which were dismissed after he completed an educational program.

Could you imagine getting pulled over for drinking and driving and the officer being drunker than you. That would be a wild sobriety test.
It happens more than u think
Driver “no you go first”
Cop “i will call the cops on you if you don’t take this test”
So do what I do when I walk this squiggly line if you don't copy me exactly you're under arrest lol
Yes i can, i got pulled over in my hometown in Poland by 2 Cops, one was drunk the other one acted like the other one wasnt drunk but he was.
Imagine the suspect doing a FSFT on the cop instead and suddenly doing the cops work for him... :-
Hearing this guy say "I'm done" in a weapons locker is kinda scary
Got my hopes up...lol
I was getting Full Metal Jacket vibes from this dude
Ya he's a creepy man.. Acting all self righteous.. All above the law.. He's not the kind of person you want to give a gun& badge to. He's gonna hurt someone. No apology. Just a big fu@k u..
And the other officer likely got the same vibe from him. Is why he asked for his weapons/back up weapons..
Mary Jane I wouldn’t say he’s a ‘scary man’ he’s drunk. That’s it. I’ve seen drunk people act x10 worse than him.
The part where he was repeatedly saying "im done" while clearly intoxicated inside a room full of guns was slightly terrifying.
got my hopes up… lol
They cut him way more slack than they would any civilian. Double standard.
I expect law enforcement to be spot on, what the hell is this?
“I’m done.” Translation: “My career is over.”
Leslie Warnell Translation: I'm having second thoughts on using these assault rifles.
Loofy I support the Second Amendment: 4 protection, hunting, etc, but dayum. Assault rifles r un-fckng-necessary. My opinion.
as it should be, the guys unstable.
@@lesliewarnell5172 What's an assault rifle?
Probably not, a police officer in our community pulled a gun on another cop in the office and only got 1-2year suspension with pay.
Makes no sense.
He didn’t even follow the rules they made for him like no drinking, I seen him drinking every weekend lol
I see people saying they should treat him like they treat us. Well maybe they should treat us like they treat him. It makes more sense to me.
kylaiskt 💯💯💯
Never thought of it that way! Awesome!
That would be nice.
Stfu
He has been treated like the rest, every single one of the civilians that are not LEO, are treated exactly the same. You don't understand.
You can tell the officer that’s sober and the friend, is teary eyed and struggling. Just an awful situation for them both. I’m so sorry.
@@willieclarence8541 Probably was too risky to deny him anything in case he decided to flip out. My guess in the back of the sober dudes head, he was saying there's no way this guy is driving but I'm not gonna say something till the very last second.
He's going to be humiliated tomorrow for telling his friend F U so many times! I'd be afraid he could be suicidal, or worse take his wife out with him!
No sympathy for the drunk cop, sorry, he would have no sympathy for you either if he arrests you for dui
@@pkaspar78women are heartless creatures 💔 ☕️
@@willieclarence8541exactly. And they say cops aren’t above the law. Yeah right
I lost my drivers license 24 years ago and was in addiction for 23 years but now I have almost 5 years clean and sober. And even in sobriety I am still trying to get my drivers license back. Before my addiction I was an EMT/ fire fighter on a volunteer fire department and I crashed my personal vehicle responding to an emergency call but I was not under the influence at that time I didn’t even drink or take anything. After getting into the accident I was cut from my car with the jaws of life by my own fire department members. After going to the hospital and getting prescribed narcotic pain medication I became addicted and later on ended up getting pulled over. I can’t find a job because nobody will hire anybody without a license. And I can’t pay my fines without a job. Hard lesson to learn is once you make a mistake in life you will pay for it for the rest of your life. 2 years ago I worked as a drug and alcohol addictions counselor Peer Recovery support specialist. And now I’m am looking for a job but no license no way to travel to work.
Congrats on your sobriety! I know how hard that is. Hope you can find a job & things get a little easier for ya.
❤ praying for you stay positive
Another drink or drug will certainly not make any of it better.
Congratulations on your sobriety!! Is there a UPS in your area by chance?? Not sure if you have limitations from your injuries, but for loaders/unloaders, they hire and do all the onboarding online. No in-person anything until orientation. Half of the crew I’m on doesn’t drive/have transportation. They take the bus or carpool with those of us that drive. The closest bus stop is still 1.5 miles away from our hub, so I time it where I can grab 3-4 coworkers when they come off the bus if they want. There’s lots of us that do this, and I’m sure you’ll find people willing to do the same no matter where you end up working! Best
of luck to you!!!
If what you say about yourself is true, then you are right about one thing: you are FK'd up!
But have faith little trooper as God is on your side
“I’m not fked up like fked up, I’m fked up”
Knew 100% what he meant lmaoo
I felt that one too 😂

Big factss
Exactly hahaha
Yup... Me too...
Just call in sick bro. Never show up drunk.
If dude was drinking four Loko he’s got some deeper issues than a random hangover
@@kasapbandy1776 exactly smh
He still might can keep his job by going to drug a and alcohol treatment program probation.
How do you know if he wasn't drinking on the job 🤔🤔🤔?...
The fact that he was drinking at all anytime close to or during a police officer shift means he isn't fit to be a cop whatsoever.
Am I the only person who was on pins and needles wondering where this cop's backup was at? A half crazed drunk man, carrying a weapon, cornered, confronted and desperate?! Oh my gosh, I thought there would be a shoot out at any moment. Officer Byron, hats off to you for taking care of your friend! Hope Auggie gets the help he needs.
He reminds me of the mentally ill soldier in full metal jacket whom took his life .. This dude had right passing the weak training police programs in the US ! Scary how unstable he is right
I was so nervous. I was thinking if that guy wanted to do something dumb it’d be a fight to stop him

Anyone else would be arrested and booked for a DUI... This isn't heartbreaking, it's an outrage. 😡
Nope heartbreaking, no one cares about us men anymore..men are the most oppressed people now..
Wrong
@@JakeReady wrong they would've be arrested?
This guy was not just intoxicated. He was WASTED
Can you imagine how mortified you would be watching this back? Seeing how bad you treated your buddy at work who is trying to be so cool w/ you. He's practically incoherent at times.
I think the term is shi+faced

Someone saying “I’m done” while surrounded by guns is terrifying
Looks like Pvt. Pyle from Full Metal Jacket, when he’s about to go crazy, and shoot Gunny 😬
@@steelsteez6118 no cops surrounding him with guns they were on about when there was alot of guns in the locker room
Why
Um No it's actually Not it's actually extremely pathetic
@@wolffirewalker9878 I agree
This is so sad to watch. I don't know what's going on with this officer, but he is obviously suffering. He's struggling, that's for sure. It's good to see that he has a fellow officer that is genuinely concerned for his welfare and is doing what he can to help him. I hope this man gets the help and support he needs so he can be the best man he can be. I wish him and his family all the best. 😊
fuzzy flashback memories of these 2 beating up skateboarders at the mall parking lot while laughing and high five ing or throwing rocks at some old ladies cat that got stuck in a tree playing in the background
Lol yeah , I'm sure he'd treat any drunk driver with the same care and compassion.. 🙄
@@commiesnzombiesyou might be autistic
@@commiesnzombiesmaybe have doctor take a look
Struggling or not, it doesn’t give you the right to drive drunk! He hit someone!
Why is there not other cops out there with him?? This guy is unstable and could do anything.
🤔🤨My thoughts exactly..
My thought too. He was put in a dangerous position because that cop was drunk and very big.
@@rundogrun297 we need an update on augie, where is he now
They have cameras at the back where they are too.
Exactly!!!
He was smart to get that fool's gun away from him first.
Oh yeah.... Most definitely...
1000%
@@tankapples 1001%
He wasn't smart about the way he handled it at all. He should have just asked him to follow him so they could talk, and then asked to see his gun.
@Cybertech66 He could have been more subtle. He broadcast his intentions.
Cop pulls me over:
“Sir are you intoxicated ?”
“Yes”
“Shiitt me too 🤪”
this is not a laughing matter!! but damn this comment had me cracking up!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao!
"Yeeahh brah high five!"
Plot twist they switch places and then he pulls the cop over for dui 🤔
Police: are you more fucked up that i am?
Me: um....uhhhhh......nah.... no sir i am not
Police: ok....then uh i guess ur free to go
His boss was a good friend, compassionate while still holding him accountable. I hope he got the help he needed.
I wonder if they would have afforded a stranger the same compassion? Both of these cops are vile.
It's never a good day to see someone hurting.. No matter what the circumstances are..
You are sooooooooo right 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This dude was so drunk he litterally didn’t understand the dude was letting him go home 😂😂😭😭😭
Was he?
Yeah, he was letting him at one point. Guy coulda went home and the wrecked vehicle would have been covered by insurance.
@@arthurjackson8302 He was going to arrest him the moment he put the keys in the door to get in the car
@@kiro6119 Yeah, I bet your right.
r/woosh he was never going to let a drunk police office drive home, he was baiting him and going to arrest him once he started his car you got some learning to do
The cop behind the camera a real homie, i feel like he would treat civilians with more respect than most
Agreed. He handles it brilliantly.
Or he is only doing that because dudes a cop and he probably treats street people like scum
@@codyayer3603 why assume the negative? all that we know for sure is that he acted civilly to a brother.
@@BubbaDeJunio to his coworker, a friend maybe? Cody is right!
Lol ur cute
This breaks my heart for both of them. Hard one to watch. I know what its like to be an alcoholic and lose everything. You can turn it all around, but it will take time. I know its like the worst day of his life. Im glad he didnt hurt anyone. Im almost 10 years sober now, and almost done getting my degree to help others through it. Addiction does not discriminate.
Congratulations on your sobriety
Way to go!! 🎉 that’s really amazing honestly and I love that your journey inspired you to help others
Blah blah blah
He should not have any special treatment, but he obviously needs help and they handled that perfectly. I hope he and his family is ok...
They handled it pretty well because he is one of them them. Had it been you or me, different story. He drove drunk! He could’ve killed someone! To me, he’s a criminal. No sympathy whatsoever!
@felyg4310 oh yea for sure. But I think he could actually be struggling with something and all people deserve help. He should definitely be in jail and lose his license for awhile like the rest of us though.
@@felyg4310 your going to go on every comment that says that this officer handled it perfectly then go on about how they only did because he's one of them. I think you should go ahead and binge on some of these kinds of videos. Maybe you might change your mind. But then you'll probably think of something else. If you treat them how you want to be treated there is no problem. I mean I've seen so many videos were they literally just took them to the station then let them go. And a good amount of them their charges got dropped. Check out some Wisconsin ones. Even the jerks got off.
@@felyg4310So them detaining and charging him means nothing because they weren't mean to him? You have a twisted world view.
Did he pay for his mistakes???
if anyone of us was drunk and hammered into a police cruiser i can promise they would not let us go home with our wife.
But they would
@@jis4jeffy369 lol
The fact that your equating him allowing him to go home with his wife, with he may not get receive and consequences is laughable. He is still going to get punished ... regardless of he refuses the test or goes home.
@@coffee-and-finance He still got several privileged outs. If I was in this guy's position as a civvie I'd be spending the night sobering up in jail, not in my warm bed with a court date.
Officers should be held to a *higher* standard, not be given every possible luxury when they fail to follow the very laws they enforce.
Oh you going with someone that'll love you alright it just wont be your wife!
imagine getting arrested by this guy for DUI and then see this 3 days later 🤣🤣🤣
DISMISSED!
Lol yeah any arrest or tickets this guy issued will be vacated. No way any prosecuting attorney would bring them to the light of day after this incident.
He probably refused the test because he's got drugs in his system as well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@PRS-qh5jf Just because he violates the law doesn't mean he doesn't know the law/was violating the law on the job. It would have to be proven he was impaired while he gave the citations to be dismissed.
There is no sympathy for this guy. He got drunk and didn't give a dam about other road users whose lives he may have taken. His colleagues who tried to help him mentally but at the same time showed no favour, only professionalism, are a credit to their force. The public needs to see the cameras work both ways, and police have a very difficult job from many angles, which is why the public needs to see videos like this. John ( Retired Officer UK). 🇬🇧
My sentiments exactly
Fuck this law
the guy has alcoholism, it's not hard to spot, some sympathy for those peeps who do recover and try their best is always appreciated. (two years sober from that shit) best choice i made
as you are an officer im sure you know life takes unfair twists at unfair times
Professionalism? I must have missed the part where he was arrested and put into handcuffs.
This is heartbreaking for the guy trying to help him at the beginning. You can tell they are good friends and he doesn’t wanna do what he is doing but he has to do it. It’s so hard to see your friend in a state like that.
They don't really seem to be more than work acquaintances to me. A lot of that kind behavior read to me like a necessary de-escalation in order to disarm a larger man who is armed and intoxicated.
The officer is now the Chief of Police.
@@heatherg2736see you ger rewarded for bad behavior 😂😂😂
Body cams are the greatest thing to ever happen to police. Videos like this that show accountability helps to restore public trust. There's no more being above the law.
I agree. I really thought it was BS but a lot of police officers seem to be holding back and being held accountable due to these body cameras. Seems like a new age is coming for police accountability hopefully
The guy who dealt with this was sniffling borderline crying as a result of having to deal with his coworker. Someone that has a nickname, obviously the have a relationship as good coworkers should have. In the same position people have no idea how hard that is. The same bro you see daily, to have that happen. I can’t even imagine. Support our first responders.
You're exactly correct, no more above the law. Because how many times did they do this before we had body cams?
There are correctional officers in California who have protested having to use them. You would think they would want them for their own protection. It definitely shows that there are many people out there who want to be able to mistreat others.
The officer Should Not be Able to shut off the camera !
To do so should be a write up ! Three write ups in three years is a week suspension w/out pay and be on permanent record. Open for the public to see.
That cop had BALLS to go in the armory alone with that drunk, especially when all of a sudden he says, "I'm done"... with a blank cold stare.
And blocked the door with his linebacker size. I was scared and wasn't even there.
The cop was talking to him like a friend. So he probably didn't see him as a threat, but rather as a distressed friend in need.
@@anthonyali4710 maybe so, but alcohol doesn't care who your friends are. If you've got enough of it in your system, your friends might not seem so friendly anymore.
@@anthonyali4710 no. My "friend" was acting just like this. I was talking to him just like this man was to his friend and he ended up attacking lol. Totally dangerous situation
@@beasy8991 precisely
This man is more than intoxicated, he’s at his breaking point
Oh man, this is heartbreaking, well done to the sober cop… the drunk cop is desperately crying for help… I hope he is okay
This is not heart breaking he’s a fking drunk and needs to get help asap if this was a blk officer he would be all kinds of wrong and no one would be “heartbroken” ain’t nothing heart breaking about this.
I agree very sad he’s seeing his life go right past him,but sometimes it could be a blessing and he will get his life back believe he hit rock bottom,you can only go up,he’s in my prayers tonight 🙏🏻
@awoafitlifestyle4038 this is so not true. I would say it was heartbreaking about any officer who was in this same predicament no matter what color their skin color. We DON'T ALL look at the color of skin and make a snap judgement.
naw he needed to be arrested and booked into jail like everyone else that gets a DUI!
@@awoa2011projecting much?
He legitimately sounds like he's having a mental breakdown. Someone needs to get him a therapist.
May Haughey if you read the stats on cops and firefighters the majority of them go through mental struggles and have ptsd. Lots of then turn to alcohol and it goes down hill from there. Highest rate of suicide than any other profession as well as divorce rate. These people do not get a break from the hell they see everyday, that is their life they live through it at home as well. Pray for them
He’s is very tired and emotional
And a DUI
He doesn't need to go to a reinke dink little hospital. He needs a larger one since he's so emotional and having problems. They can hold him overnight for evaluation and get him some assistance. He's not arrested so he should have just walked away, not driven
I would have told someone to get me a beer at that point
when he said "im not fucked up like fucked up, im fucked up" i felt that
😂

Yea...fucked up
Fucked up literally and figuratively.

Try being drunk, wrecking your car, refusing a blood test, and then being let go by a cop. Ain't happening.
ive seen it happen to a few people actually, kindve fucking annoying but hey what can we do about it
He got a citation and charged with drinking and driving
Yep... I understand what you’re saying. This would be taken as non-compliant and turned hostile in a fkn second, had it been a public citizen. Lol they would’ve slammed his ass into the concrete and booked him, most likely.
@@jalk1794 Write your congressman and senators, to end qualified immunity, allow citizens that have had their rights trampled on to sue the PDS AND leos and let the officers and their unions and their pension funds pay the millions in damages instead of us taxpayers, Watch how fast that thin Blue line disappears, cops will be turning on bad cops in a minute when they have to pay.

I thought he was going to let him get in his car and drive away, then pull him over to arrest him.
@@jessicaethington8321 don’t feel bad, so did I. 🤷🏻♂️ or follow him home and let him sleep it off. Driving his personal vehicle home with a cop following him might have sobered him up a bit. 😂
Just because he's wearing a uniform, doesn't mean he's not having a nervous breakdown.
It's a little bit concerning because he sounds very suicidal
I agree, there was some distress signals.
Yeah for sure. He basically just lost everything. His career is gone forever, and no one knows how this is going to affect his personal life and marriage.
He probably has deeper issues that lead to the drinking.
I could not agree more with you. Something happened and he is not handling it well. Yes hes an Asshat but he needs help.
Why do people only care when a cop commits suicide? Do you think are better than everyone else? They're not. No better, no worse. Championing someone just because they have a badge is foolish. Do you know how many cops, have lied, robbed, and murdered? There is a cop sitting on death row in Louisiana. They're not angels.
"I'm done"
Okee there big guy, let's discuss this one *outside* the tiny room full of guns
That was concerning.
Good one
@@droor24 very

He does his duty with consumate professionalism, de-escalates the suspect with grace, and still manages to be a good friend to the very man he's arresting.
Thank you, officer.

This is disturbing!
We are always going to get whatever we tolerate out of our police .

Augie is telling EVERYONE his lifes story, through the booze and the tears. 😟😟
The cop that’s talking seems like a really good person tbh.
Yup
He was cool and he was real but another thing he was is scared 🤣
He is the chief of that town now.
@Bigdaddy TV so what he was older and smaller and the guy in the office lol.. what i want to know is why no backup was called when augie showed aggression right off the bat. his body language was horrid in the beginning. im sure augie is an ok guy sober but hes not responsible and in this moment the older smaller guy should have had someone younger to help if augie got froggy. just cause the older guy is a cop does not make him a terminator.

Not to mention to what probably makes him drink like that, these guys are human to and they see the ugliest side of humanity out there
@@shanes3060 exactly. All police officers should receive free optional therapy if needed and routine psychiatric evaluations. (if they dont already, I'm not sure)

@@raffles1773 that would be nice. In my experience with therapy I found that it wasnt that helpful although I could've decided to just get a different therapist I had more of a connection with. I've found more personal ways of therapy to be more helpful. But to each his own

The realization that came over Jason when he was told Augie showed up without his vest. That's so scary.
The compassion he has for him should be to each person they stop. It's sad, but the truth is the next city would hire him the next week. How may people with issues as this get the same chances
This cop is was shown more compassion than when I was pulled over 100 percent sober in the morning going home from work after I found out my Mom died and was slightly speeding. I didn’t get a ticket but it was a compassionless stop.
Standing in a room full of guns and ammo, and this guy just keeps saying “I’m done”. Chilling.
I was thinking the same thing, I'd be getting him out of there ASAP
that's exactly what I was thinking
Yeah, my stomach was in knots
That was a pucker factor holy shit. The entire time I'm thinking get him outta that room.
I feel the exact same way, however with him being drunk on the job he was done prior to the crash. Luckily he didn’t pull over someone and decide to snap with his equipment and attitude out in the field. It’s unfortunate but this was best case scenario as far as safety goes?
How come they couldn’t smell it on him? They smell alcohol on EVERYONE ELSE right away. Incredible 😂
He knew he was drunk. He was giving him a chance to be honest. He is also a giant man in a very unpredictable state, with no other officers around. Best to be nice and polite and not escalate anything.
Physics. That guy seams to be big as an oak! I dont think many of his colleags comes close to his face
monster false
22:22 DANG!!! I thought that was a massive rat or opossum holding a flashlight in the upper left hand corner on top of a cubicle! Just an optical Illusion 😆
And that's A FACT.
hats off to the arresting officer. that man was his friend and I hope he received an apology
This officer is so empathetic. He needs help and the world is cruel. More kindness and understanding but yet holding accountable. much respect!
How is he be held accountable..he's not even getting a citation..he gets to go home to sleep it off in his bed..not in a jail cell like any other drunk would be
When he said im not f*cked up like f*cked up, i’m f*cked up i felt that. 4:50
Dude thought I was the only one
Thought he said I fucked up
σи тυн∂αуѕ єριѕσ∂є
I feel bad
Felt that to buddy! I think a few of us understand.
"How much did you drink today?"
"yeah".
At least he was honest, lol.
@dale gribble who?
that's what i say too
The DOUBLE STANDARDS make me angry. This guy is in his full police uniform with his GUN etc, who “TOTALLED” his SQUAD CAR by RUNNING IT INTO A SEMI and after refusing tests WHY IS HE NOT HIS OWN DAMNED CUFFS??? Sent home with his wife…. That was nasty to see
I see people who've done less put in handcuffs, it's not fair.
You know they want to protect each other as much as possible. We’re all guilty of it in any job that we do!
@@lisajeter9511 Thank you! I love how people pretend not to understand that there is a mutual camaraderie among co-workers no matter where you work. The only people who don't get it are those who never worked a job with other people. I mean, people are actually mad that they didn't cuff the guy?! That's ridiculous! He got charged the exact same way other people do and he suffered the consequences. Some people just hate cops and will never be satisfied with anything they do. Of course, they're always the first one to call for a cop when they feel they need one. Hypocrites!
I think the only reason he didn’t cuff him right away was because there would have been a fight, and he was by himself. Even civilians get uncuffed once they get to the police station. The superior officer even told the arresting officer to treat this like a “normal DUI”. He is getting the same penalties as anyone would get for a refusal. He was ordered to take a blood draw (which they only do to civilians if it is a suspected drug DUI). So that is actually more severe. Civilians also get picked up after they are done with their paperwork. Some states require a mandatory hold, but a lot of states allow a sober person to pick up the drunk driver as soon as the paperwork is done. I’ve seen drunk drivers call for their ride before they even leave the scene. There was not much done differently. Aside from being cuffed from the scene to the station. Once inside, he was treated like any other DUI suspect. If anything, he received harsher penalties than most drunk drivers. Most drunk drivers don’t go on immediate suspension or lose their jobs.
@@JSchaffer214these are cops though. Not an regular office job. They’re suppose to enforce the law no matter what
LT..... you're a good man. You deserve to be in a leadership position.
It’s kinda surreal watching a man severely derail his life while I do the dishes lol
Dan Nelson Shouldn’t laugh but...😂
Get a dishwasher Augie
This comment is severely underrated.
Brooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha I was doing the same thing
When he was questioning him in the weapons room I was picturing the worst.
Trey Steinberger yo same hahaha
That he ran over a kid playing basketball in the street before he hit the semi-trailer and then went back to the police station to what idk get in more trouble
Nothing but wrong decisions
He will remember this day
As it crushed his ego so bad
Friend had to help take him down
Just doing my job bro
Trey Steinberger He wasn't going to load and charge one of those rifles in his drunken state before the Sgt. Could draw and fire his side arm.
Same here
me too! I was shocked!
The officer with the body cam, breaks my heart. He was put in such a difficult position.
He was the only officer there. Only officer hearing admition of intoxication but obviously the other officers friend.
He cant step away from this situation because it's his job and responcibility, but you can hear the heart break, stress and dificulty the arresting officer is going through. He doesnt want to be in this situation. His friend put him in this position and there is no option for this cop.
People in the comments are stating that he was going to allow him to drive. But he didnt know he was intoxicated at that time. He mentioned that he knew there were other things going on in the intoxicated officers life. Which meant he probably knew he was going through a difficult time and putting the behaviour down to reasons of shock, distress and mental unwellness DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. He didnt just allow the officer to drive away but showed concern and compassion by following him out to carpark to try and ascertain if the intoxicated officer was MENTALLY and EMOTIONALY fit to drive.
I really really hope that the arresting officer was given some help.and counselling to get this off his chest, mind and soul.
A person can do the right thing and yet still be weighed down by the emotions of the action. It seemed like they were friends. They knew each others families and they knew outside curcumstances. This arresting officer NEEDS support and reinforcement for doing the right thing and recognition about the level if difficulty this arrest would have been. Such a sh**ty thing, doing the right thing sometimes. I have such a high level of respect for this officer.
P.s. i really hope the intoxicated officer got some help too. Sounds like he is also going through a rough patch. 😢
Poor guy, im somehow feel sorry for him...looking at a grown man crying in front of his college and saying "im done" in a room full of heavy weapons... makes me feel uncomfortable!!!
This cop managed this situation very well.
I'm autistic and even I could tell the drunken cop meant I'll resign by I'm done.
Every time he says “Come on, Auggie” you can hear the sheer amount of care in his voice. Poor guy is just trying to help.
Other cop actually did sound genuine and didn’t just say things in an effort to get auggie to incriminate himself. For us normies, always assume they’re not being genuine.
if there’s anyone a cop can relate to nowadays, it’s another cop. poor man sounded truly hurt at the events unfolding before his eyes:/
@@badlyrosenthal5149 Agree totally with your sentiments my friend. it's actually really sad on so many levels. Ultimately that drunken cop will have to face the consequences of his actions, but he should use this awful experience as a springboard to sobriety, good health and rebuilding his life. Alcoholism is a dreadful disease of the mind and the heart, and oftentimes they need to hit rock bottom before they finally accept the help they need to get well...
@@wesleydonnelly2141 for real. his life is by no means over, just requires a bit more recovery than most!
Yeah that’s a pretty fucked up situation to be in. This is a guy you would give your life for in the line of duty, you trust him with your life and he trusts you with his. But when he fucks up you have to rat him out, watch his life go down the drain.
The officer consulting Augie is so level headed. Hes exactly the type of person I'd want to be with me during my tough times, its unfortunate that Augie didn't heed his advice.
His advice was PATHETIC
@@workemail6229 He was avoiding escalation. I think that is pretty obvious.
@@workemail6229 Coming from the loser with a hulk hogan account
If only they would act like that towards people in traffic stops
Hank Bridges are you ok bro?
Hats off to the sober cop, he handled this with extreme professionalism. The drunk cop is obviously a broken man who needs help. I could hear in his voice and see in his eyes that he was desperate and on the brink of reaching his breaking point. There should have been multiple other cops there because this man seemed like he could snap at any moment and become extremely aggressive.
It’s ironic to see so many people in this comment section have so much empathy and compassion for the cop who drove drunk and wrecked his vehicle, but not keep that same energy for the majority of civilians that drive drunk and wreck their vehicles in similar videos. When it’s an average citizen or someone who looks like an addict/alcoholic (same thing), those comment sections are filled with people criticizing them, laughing at them, and mocking their behavior. But here you have a cop doing basically the same thing, and everyone feels bad for him. I’m a recovering addict and I think this cop and the civilians that drive drunk both deserve compassion (with the proper consequences). So the next time you watch one of these videos and it’s a civilian, just remember that cops are no better than they are, and they make mistakes too. Whenever I see videos like these, I think about how this is probably the rock bottom moment for these people and I hope they were able to get help and find change. It’s a struggle every day but it’s a struggle worth the fight
I know how the drunk cop is feeling. He’s realizing this is the moment where his life will change forever, and he will (hopefully) have to work SO hard to climb out of this mess. Been there myself. Lucky for me, after 12 years of struggle, I’m two weeks away from reaching that very last step of getting back to where I was. He absolutely deserves the consequences of his actions, but I hope he was able to move beyond this.
Congratulations on sticking with all that hard work and pulling thru
@@user-jy2sj4ed4i Thank you!
I sure hope Auggie gets past this and gets his life in order. Sounds like he has a good support system.
Augure is a loser and is getting what’s coming
Good for you man! Happy to hear it.
On the note of the “consequences” for this officer, read the description. There were barely any consequences especially when considering what it would be like if a civilian did this exact same thing.
Let’s take the drunk guy about to lose everything into the armory. That’s a good place to tell him he’s screwed
They didn't know he was drunk at that point.
@@butdontaskme5345 They did because of the slurred speech, the way he was walking etc. Police immediately know if you are drunk, also they found four beer cans in his cruiser.
@@violet9680 they didnt know he was drunk because hes special......
He wasn't drunk..
@@BlueBARv5 yea and you were a planned pregnancy
The officer that’s being kind and trying to help him has such a familiar voice! I can’t place it but it’s pretty soothing and I feel like I’ve heard it 1000 times before in videos or somewhere
The fact he crashed a vehicle and is clearly intoxicated yet getting a pass to go home really show how f’d up the system is. You know if that was any ordinary person they would already been booked and tested regardless of submission.
His supervisor seems like a patient and respectful guy he was actually trying very hard to help in anyway.
The supervisor is someone we need as a police officer. He knew the other officer was messed up, and did everything to help him.
@@chrissarvello6852 he’s not a police officer?
@@anthonymiller934 Wasn’t trying to be technical with rank I think you got the gist of what I was saying
@@chrissarvello6852 no i was legit asking because I thought he was.. but then your comment confused me. Wasn’t trying to be rude
@@anthonymiller934 my bad just used to most people being smart asses. He’s a police officer I was just more of meaning that’s the type of people who need to be officers. People that know how to take the time to talk to people.
Best sobriety test: try to stick this key into this lock.
Can't get it in the hole?
This is sad and so dangerous on a lot of levels. He could of killed someone
@@xxtoy.foxy_queenz5661 just amazing that this cop trying to be his friend after discerning he was drunk. He shouldn't be trying to help him. It makes me wonder how many officers get away with this type of behavior. If he hadn't almost killed other people or himself in the crash would i ever have thought this was possible? Now i do. Over caffeinated under paid and under the influence.
Nobody is above the law. This is horrifying.
Plenty of opportunities for security guard bicycle patrol
Man it takes me a few tries to do it sober
This makes me sad. The officer handled this with grace and empathy. This man is fighting demons... I hope he got the necessary help 🤍
Refusing a LEGALLY REQUIRED BAC?? And no immediate arrest?? “We’ll get you out of here & you can just go home.” WTF??
The way this guy was acting it could have gotten dangerous real quick, props to the other cop for disarming him and keeping him calm
Yo can you imagine how this guy felt when he woke up sober the next day. And then realizing the entire ordeal was recorded.
And then realizing it's on UA-cam with 5 million views
And my journey sobered me up so I hope this man gets help and back on path...
@@joeygouda If he's a unionized employee with some seniority Auggie might still have a job for all I know. Saw similar before.
@@chickenleg820 Hell no, depending on the State maybe BIG MAYBE, imo MAYBE he d get a job in a jail... Wrecking a police vehicle while intoxicated makes him show all agency's he is and always will be a liability....
@@chickenleg820 That's how they think, If he thats a LOCAL situation, yeah he may get his job back, Lol there is alot of drunk cops driving on RWP 👀👀
I hope he uses this video to help himself and others. There is light buddy. Know others are behind you. God bless
I looked Offer Augustine up online and he is now an insurance agent for Aflac. I hope he’s doing better than he was in this video.
As soon as he started crying you know he's intoxicated.
He was visibly drunk the whole time
Because you didn't know that before he started crying? lol
as soon as he couldnt put the keys in the door you could tell that he was drunk.
Some guys cry ya know..you should cry Silerado, you'd feel better.
@@mullcrumthesage6303 Tf are you on about🤦🏾♂️🤣

Alchohol is bad shit for real..
Alcohol will unfortunately just exaggerate the mood you are in, this was sad to watch.
@@jimmysandhu9586 obviously, you've never had to deal with an alcoholic, good or bad... it's all bad.
My late father, alcoholic for over forty years, exacted the exact same way whenever he was drunk and angry (frequent). "I'm done!" On repeat. "I'm done!" This guy has the exact same mannerisms, speaks the same way, has the same tense glare. I can tell you without a DOUBT that he's a very mean, possibly violent drunk. I've seen my share of them and they usually act the same way when they're accused of something.
Man, props to that Supervisor or CO or whomever for showing some compassion for his co-worker. Most bosses wouldn't go out of there way for you like that, no matter what industry you work in.
I'm drunk
"You're drunk right now?"
No, I've been drunk
Best diolouge
Thats a whole mood
"If you want to leave go ahead and leave"
Something NO cop has ever said to anyone who just totaled a vehicle while drunk.
I think the other cop was worried having to go one on one in a small place with someone who clearly is not stable.
@Bertholdt Hoover he wasn’t going to let him drive home but shouldn’t have even gave the guy the idea of driving
They said it to officer Oogie
@@thephillyking8239 In the armory, no less.
I got some “losing control of vehicle” ticket for that years ago. That got reduced to non-moving violation when I went to court. It happens.
Given his state of mind, I’d be afraid for his wife and children. He needed mental help.
Tough guy cop crying like a child because he drank on the job, wrecked a cruiser and put others life at risk.. class act!
Its clear Augie is having some serious issues, but its hard to have sympathy. If a citizen had wrecked their car and refused a breathalyzer while absolutely hammered, then tried to drive away, it would not go well for them.
If this were you or me threatning the other cop, they'd have shot or tased us and busted up our heads.
Exactly. I bet he only got a slap on the wrist, too.
@@DeviIInADress "He was sentenced to one year of probation, 177 days of suspended jail time, a $300 fine, and court costs, plus an additional three days in jail, which were dismissed after he completed an educational program." So basically nothing but some fines
At first I thought he was breaking down and crying out of guilt and the realization that he could’ve killed someone while he was supposed to be protecting people. Then I realized he was crying for himself, and all sympathy went out the window.
@@Katie-mw7pd Very well put. You have good verbalization skills (writing)
homie really said "im done"
😪
BrokeSkies Honestly, that shit was freaky. Imagine if he had pulled someone over with his gun and starts saying "I'm done"
NOOPEEEEEEEEE
I wonder how many people ended up "done" because he arrested them at one point. How many sat in jail thinking "I'm done" because he decided to get them locked up for one reason or another. Guaranteed he wouldn't have the remorse so many people do for him if it came to any other civilian obliterated while driving. 🤦♀️
BrokeSkies for real 😳
@@mellllll9 that a whole horror movie 😂
His friend was really trying to help oggy , god bless him ❤️🙏
I see a man who is in need of help here.if this is the disease of alcoholism or addiction then I pray he got help because this alone doesn't mean he's a bad guy, the disease is gripping and it can affect anyone. The struggle is real.
“I’m not f*cked up like (f*cked up) I f*cked up”. I can relate.
@dirtbike riders of what??? meth?!?!
he said "i fucked up" not "im fucked up"
things some people say after a college bender the night before finals!
He knows exactly what he means...."I fucked up"......not "I'm fucked up"... that's how it's done.... sober cop is in program mode.... making "drunk cop" incriminate himself more.... I hate when ppl do that sh¡t..... twist wording...
That’s not what he said, he said “I’m not fucked up, I fucked up”
At this point this guy clearly doesn't need to be on ANYONES police force
Jeff DIxon - that’s interesting. I started to wonder just what has slipped through the cracks after I saw that video of the police officer who was found to have ties to white power gangs and had multiple serious charges in Norway, that somehow, the stateside agency that employed him completely overlooked. He was on the job as a cop for at least a year prior to their discovery of it, if memory serves.
@@downfromthereeefters Jeff is right. Another agency will pick him up without any issues. As long as his certs are in tact. It's sad, really.
He isn’t. He’s done as a cop, at least according to his LinkedIn profile.
