What makes the hero mentality of some firefighters tarnish the reputation of their fellow firefighters to make them believe that they can drive drunk without causing injury to others? It’s the same ingredient that causes everyone else, in any occupation to do the same thing = booze – which causes stupidity to take over brain functions and often leads to death on the highway for innocent people.
The following are reports of two firefighters with the same last name who work in the same fire department in the same town who were arrested for DUI just about a year apart.
Deputies assigned to the Patrol Operations Bureau have arrested a Palm Harbor firefighter for Driving Under the Influence.
At about 9:06 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, 2019, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received 911 calls from at least three different citizens regarding the erratic driving pattern of a silver or grey colored Dodge Ram truck that was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 19 North, between SR 580 and Curlew Road.
The callers provided the tag number for the Dodge truck and said the vehicle was swerving in the roadway and nearly struck the median and multiple vehicles. One caller said they thought the driver was falling asleep at the wheel.
Deputies responded to the area but could not locate the vehicle. They then responded to the home address of the registered owner in Palm Harbor where they located the Dodge Ram truck parked at the residence.
Deputies say 29-year-old Thomas Walker was sitting in the driver seat of the vehicle with the engine running. There were no other occupants in the vehicle.
When asked to perform Field Sobriety Tests, Walker refused and asked for “professional courtesy.”

Felton, DEL.– The Delaware State Police report that they have charged 53-year-old Mary A. Williams of Magnolia, DE with vehicular assault, stemming from a DUI related crash involving a single vehicle.
The incident occurred on October 9, 2019, at approximately 11:05 a.m., when Troopers were dispatched to the area Indian Point Road and Andrew’s Lake Road, Felton, in reference to a crash.
