Prosecutor: PFPD cop DUI sentence fair

Post Falls police officer Brenda Knight issued 25 DUI infractions in 2015, a number which earned her the distinction of the department's "Top DUI Cop" in its annual report.

On Nov. 19, 2016, Knight was slapped with a DUI of her own.

When Kootenai County deputies found Knight in her Jeep in a ditch near Rathdrum, she showed signs of alcohol consumption before blowing a .25, a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit.

She was sentenced earlier this month, and news of the sentence sparked an outcry by online commenters who groused that she received a slap on the wrist because of her badge/Ryan Collingwood, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
