The chief of the Hygiene (Colo.) Fire Protection District was arrested Saturday after he allegedly tried to pull a vehicle over after a traffic altercation.

Dimond said deputies discovered a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in his car, along with a pistol and a rifle. Nelson was found to be under the influence of alcohol.

What a complete idiot, he should lose his job. He has a prior DUI and now caught driving again under the influence with weed in his possession etc..
I think down deep this guy really wanted to be a cop not a foundation saver.
