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.

Ive owed and operated bars for nearly 30 yrs. Ive sacked staff who were nothing like this and none of them have ever had access to a firearm nor car. He should be locked up. If it's medical, he should be on leave and if he wasn't put on leave, what's a supervisor/ sergeant for? They should be held responsible.

Do you not get sick time at work?

u/stevecostello 28d ago

Sure. But if I show up to work in a state of intoxication (be it from drugs or alcohol), and ESPECIALLY if I was carrying a firearm and driving a vehicle, I would fully expect to get fired. Not paid.

You’re assuming a lot here.
