ELKO, Nev. (AP) - This might make for a tense time at home.

An off-duty sheriff's deputy in Nevada was pulled over and charged with driving under the influence - the arresting officer, her husband.

Charlotte Moore, a 36-year-old jail deputy and 11-year veteran, was driving her 2004 Pontiac Grand Am when she was pulled over by Elko County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Moore.

A published report says the woman allegedly drove off before she could be given a breathalyzer test. Her husband is said to have pulled her over again and called the Elko Police Department for backup.

Charlotte Moore is now on paid administrative leave.

She reportedly had been drinking during a downtown business group's wine walk.

Well,

I feel sorry for the gentleman but I have the utmost extreme respect for him.

Perhaps I am under a wrongful impression, but I think most any other officer in the same situation would have tried to sweep it under the rug.

This guy, in his action, seems to exude an incredible amount of honesty and integrity. However, I do feel sorry for him for whatever repercussions are waiting for him behind closed doors.
