State Trooper Charged With DWI Resigns
Steven Bradley, a state trooper charged earlier this month with a DWI, has resigned in lieu of dismissal, the Highway Patrol says.
Posted — Updated
Patrol spokesman Lt. Everett Clendenin said Steven Ellis Bradley, a 16-year veteran, resigned Monday in lieu of dismissal following a Dec. 4 accident in which Bradley crashed his personal vehicle into a pond near the intersection of Jones Franklin and Macedonia roads in Raleigh.
His two children, ages 7 and 18, were not injured. Bradley suffered a wound to his head.
An initial alcohol breath test requested by Bradley before his arrest registered 0.14, according to court documents. North Carolina's legal driving limit is 0.08.
His attorney, Russell Dement of Raleigh, said Bradley knew his career was over and that he was embarrassed and sad that he brought disrespect upon the Highway Patrol.
In addition to DWI, Bradley also faces other charges, including assault, failing to stop at a stop sign, child abuse and carrying a concealed weapon.
His first court appearance is set for Jan. 30.
