Local NewsCop Suspended For Allegedly Coming To Work DrunkBy Associated Press
MADISON - The Madison police department says a detective was suspended for 60 days without pay after being accused of twice coming to work drunk.
Police said Thursday that Detective Jeff McPike was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after the second incident.
Authorities say a co-worker noticed alcohol on McPike's breath in February and reported it to a supervisor.
As that investigation wrapped up, McPike's supervisor said the detective reported to work again about two weeks later with measurable levels of alcohol in his body.
A police report says McPike was suspended 20 days for the first incident and 40 days for the second.
A telephone message left for McPike on Thursday evening was not immediately returned.
