Brandon Mullock, the Sacramento police officer arrested in January for brandishing a firearm while off-duty - and since that incident accused of filing falsified reports on DUI arrests - has resigned. Mullock had been on administrative leave since his arrest.
During its investigation of the January arrest, the Sacramento Police Department discovered irregularities in reports filed by Mullock on several DUI cases. Specifically, the details in Mullock's reports differed from the evidence provided by audio and video recordings made by equipment in Mullock's police vehicle.
The Sacramento District Attorney's Office has already dismissed charges in two of those cases, and nearly 200 more of Mullock's DUI arrests are under review. The DA's Office is not able to say at this point how many other cases will be affected.
A hearing on the reviewed cases has been scheduled for September 17 at 1:30 PM in department 9 of the Sacramento county courthouse.
Mullock had been with the department for three years and a member of the DUI task force since October 2009.
