TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A school security officer with Hillsborough County Public Schools was arrested for driving under the influence Saturday morning, according to the sheriff’s office.

David Cruzado, 57, was stopped at 3:24 a.m. after an officer noticed his vehicle veering from the lane at Sunforest Drive and Eisenhower Boulevard in Tampa.

The deputy had Cruzado take a field sobriety test after he showed signs of impairment. He also received marks of 0.168 and 0.175 during two breath tests; this was twice the legal limit.

According to authorities, Cruzado was wearing his school security uniform at the time of the traffic stop and his gun belt and gun were in his car.

Cruzado was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol over 0.15.

“This incident involving a school security officer is deeply disappointing,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “His decision to drive while intoxicated put our community in danger and is unacceptable, especially for someone responsible for the safety of our schools. He will be held accountable for his actions.”

This is an ongoing investigation.
