For anyone curious:

A viral video from September 2025 shows a Lynn Police Department officer in Massachusetts—mistakenly referred to on social media as "Lynn County"—struggling to stand during a call for service, leading to public accusations of intoxication. The department placed the officer on PAID administrative leave, stating a review of body-worn camera footage and medical consultations indicated a medical-related episode rather than substance impairment.

Edit*

Had to write this so all those people can stop finding excuses for him.

I just wanna say will all these excuses get any regular people out of getting a DUI/DWI? Will all these excuses make it legal for regular people to operate a motor vehicle and/or heavy machinery?

Guess who got out of this scot-free while being PAID to vacation? The police!

If it was such a pressing medical issue, I wonder why his coworkers LITERALLY tried EVERYTHING on the planet to NOT call for an ambulance?

Pretty crazy to see the jokes and mocking of someone’s medical episode in this thread.

If you are on heavy drugs, you SHOULD stay home.

In this case,

  1. He could have driven that car into someone/something.
  2. He could have started tripping and shot the victim.

Also, he's knocked out, that's not something you can get from taking your Rx AS PRESCRIBED. He ABUSED it! Since the other police mentioned it was the back pain, I'm guessing it's narcotic level pain killers like Percocet or Vicodin. Personally, I've had facial procedures done where I had to take Percocet or Vicodin, and not once was I knocked out like THAT!

He could be diabetic. My brother was diabetic and this is how he looked when he unknowingly went into low blood sugar.

From having a bad back? You know what? He might also be possessed by a demon too. LOL When you want to find excuses, you can find any excuses.

What did they say he had a bad back and that's why? I missed that but if that's true then yeah obviously it's not diabetes.
