INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- An Indianapolis police officer was found guilty of nine felony counts for being drunk when he plowed a squad car into two motorcycles, killing one man.
Two hours after the crash Aug. 6, 2010, David Bisard's blood-alcohol level tested at 0.19, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08. He was on duty and driving a police cruiser at 65 mph or more and weaving in and out of traffic when the accident occurred.
Eric Wells, 30, was killed in the crash, and Mary Mills and Kurt Weekly seriously injured.
The suspended Indianapolis police officer was found guilty Tuesday of nine felony counts of drunken driving, reckless homicide and criminal recklessness, The Indianapolis Star reported.
Superior Court Judge John Surbeck is scheduled to sentence Bisard Nov. 26 in Allen County. He faces a possible 20 years on the most serious charge and six months to eight years on the lesser charges, the Star said.
Bisard is also scheduled to go on trial in Marion County for a DUI arrest in April, the newspaper reported.
