Caldwell police sergeant resigns following DUI charges

According to court records, a Canyon County Sheriff’s deputy on June 15 spotted a 2016 Ford Fusion cross over a double yellow line, which then swerved onto the road’s shoulder. The deputy pulled the driver over, allegedly identified as Matthews, and reported smelling alcohol.

Officials say Matthews failed a field sobriety test after denying drinking. A breathalyzer test showed Matthews with a blood-alcohol content of 0.19, over twice Idaho’s legal limit of 0.08.

Court records also show Matthews arrested for drunken driving again on Saturday.

Both DUI charges are misdemeanors.
