An off-duty Aurora police officer was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, careless driving and failing to report an accident, according to court documents obtained by Denver7 Tuesday.
Joshua Teeples, 31, was arrested the afternoon of Aug. 21 after a report of a hit-and-run crash in Castle Rock.
The suspect was handcuffed at his home in the 4800 block of South Meadowlark Drive in Castle Rock and booked into the Douglas County Jail, the documents state. A booking photo has yet to be released.
As a handcuffed Teeples was being transported to jail, he asked the arresting officer if he would bond him out, to which the Castle Rock officer replied he would not, according to the probable cause statement.
While in a holding cell inside the Douglas County facility, the off-duty Aurora officer banged his head against a glass door on four occasions, the Castle Rock police officer stated in the report.
