Barney Fife Award #5, Parma Hts., OH police department

PARMA HEIGHTS -- A local police officer is charged with drunk driving, after crashing into his own department's building. Parma Heights police Sgt. Jeff Krepina now finds himself on the other side of the law.

Krepina is patrolling the streets of Parma Heights at night, barely missing a beat, so to speak, since he was arrested for drunk driving.

"He is a good police officer. This is an isolated incident," Parma heights police Capt. Garry Lauter said of Krepina.

Court records indicate that at 5:30 a.m. Dec. 8, Krepina rammed the front of the police department's building with his truck. The vehicle jumped the curb and whacked into the front doors.
