Pennsylvania state trooper arrested for DUI

A Pennsylvania trooper who worked as a state police spokesperson was charged last week for driving under the influence, according to department officials and online court records.

Robert Hicks was stopped in Cumberland County on Nov. 12 by Lower Allen Township Police. According to wgal.com, police said Hicks had been "weaving in and out" of his driving lane, and said his blood alcohol content was .232, about three times the legal limit.

State police was made aware of the incident soon after it happened and is conducting an internal investigation, said state police communications director Ryan Tarkowski.

Hicks is still employed by Pennsylvania State Police, Tarkowski said, but would not comment further.
