Officer Karen Dula did television interviews on local stations in 2006 advising center city bar hoppers not to drive drunk...And we haven't even gotten to the good part yet. Speeding killers, violent lesbians...no doubt just a few bad apples in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg "Only Ones" barrel...
It made waves when Dula, then 27, was arrested -- in Uptown of all places -- by the state highway patrol at 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 11 for driving drunk....
Dula was not only still working for the department, but was working as a patrol officer in the department's Metro division, which covers Uptown. That means she can ticket and arrest other drivers for breaking the law, including for drunk driving. Adding further insult to irony is the fact that Dula, who lost her license for 30 days, had to go to court to get her driving privileges reinstated during work hours so she could drive to and from work -- and drive her patrol car.
