Posted on Dec 17, 2009 3:51pm PST
On Friday, a man from
Ohio is due in court for driving under the influence (DUI) charges for the third time. According to reports, the man had already served 10 years in prison and had permanently lost his driver's license after killing a police officer in 1994.
Sunday, police officers received a call from a store customer who reported that a man appeared to be intoxicated. Inspector William Holland of the Summit County Sheriff's Department said, "They went and attempted to block this person in, the driver got in the car, maneuvered around the citizen's car and took off driving."
After the incident occurred, the customer followed the erratic driver to a nearby home and then phone police. When police arrived, they found 47 year old Gregory Gordon behind the wheel. Gordon killed police officer George Knaff in 1994 when he ran through a stop sign and crashed into Officer Knaff's vehicle.
In 2006, Gordon was charged with
DUI, making this his send DUI offense since his release from prison. Sources say that Officer Knaff's family is infuriated that Gordon is still able to drink and drive.
Knaff's cousin said, "I think he should be locked up again, and all this crap about remorse and treatment while he was in prison, that didn't do no good, it didn't do no good ... it's 15 years later."
Police have charged Gordon with DUI, driving under suspension and refusing to take a breathalyzer test.
