ELKO, Nev. —

An off-duty Elko County sheriff's deputy was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol after her husband, a fellow deputy, pulled her over.

Charlotte Moore, 36, Spring Creek, was arrested in Elko at 11:41 p.m. Saturday. She was released at 1:47 a.m. on Sunday and placed on paid administrative leave, Elko County Undersheriff Rocky Gonzalez said.

Moore, a jail deputy who has been on staff for 11 years, was off duty driving her 2004 Pontiac Grand Am when she was initially pulled over by her husband, Elko County Sheriffs Deputy Mike Moore, a police report said.

In two separate accounts of the incident, Mike Moore indicated she initially was pulled over for either speeding or making an illegal turn, according to the report.

She allegedly left before being administered a portable breathalyzer test, the Elko Daily Free Press reported.

Mike Moore pulled her over again and called the Elko Police Department for backup. He left shortly after officer Shane Daz arrived. Elko Police Department Sgt. Mark Butterfield was also on scene.

Mike Moore was following procedure when he asked for backup, Gonzalez told the newspaper.

Neither Mike nor Charlotte Moore was available for comment Monday. She reportedly had been drinking approximately two hours earlier at a downtown business group's wine walk, the newspaper said.

The sheriffs office supports the police departments actions, Gonzalez said.

Although this traffic stop was different from most, officers treated the stop as they would any other time a deputy calls for backup, Elko Police Chief Mike Smith said.

Ya think he'd write his mom a ticket as well?

I was asked that on an oral board. I told him I would, but only after calling for backup....

Mom has a terrible temper. Not sure I could take her in a fight.

Put this in GD and see how many pages before lock.

He did right by letting other agency handle the investigation.

Sucks to be him though

I was asked about a similar situation during the oral boards.  

The PD I was interviewing with wanted honesty, they got it.

As long as no damage had been done and it was a one time occurance I would hold her there until someone could come get her.  If she had caused any damages of any kind, or it was a not a one time happening she'd go to jail same as anyone else.

I was thanked for my honesty and passed that step.


ETA, I'm not a cop right now because I got married and moved away instead.  Yeah I know, I was retarded.

LINK to GD

She earned it! No matter what, why or where, she knew better.

He did the best thing for her, but it kinda sux for the PD that took it on... if this is just a failling marriage.

That's why I posted it here, looks like Bama stirred up the GD rabble.
I'm not a cop but unless I was looking for a divorce I would only run in my wife as a last resort. This can't end well...

There is way more to this story!

I would guess

Quoted: Bah - I say he was looking for a way out of the marriage and this was as good as way as any to get rid of her from work too...

I bet this is close to the real story!!!

Real oral board question:   So what would do you do if you had to arrest your mother?

Guys answer:   Call for backup.

Oldie but goodie

Better to put his, apparently problematic drinker wife in the jail than to put her in the ground as a result of an alchohol related accident.

I'm guessing there was a lot of background stuff going on leading up to this
