According to Sheriff Eric Flowers, former Cpl. Chris Swindell was arrested overnight. This is not his first incident involving alcohol. Before I took office he had another incident that landed in internal affairs. (It was) investigated and he received a suspension for that, Flowers said. I did meet with him upon taking office and we had a serious discussion. You know, this is it. This is the end of the line, and he assured me he was committed to our agency.
