Sacramento detective covers up DUI collision, gets fired for dishonesty – Everything Law and Order Blog

There is something important to know about this video. Until very recently, nearly all police disciplinary records were secret in California. That has changed, but only to the extent that misconduct is sustained and falls into one of two categories: sexual misconduct and dishonesty. Everything else is still secret. Without the dishonesty element, this entire incident would be confidential. You wouldn’t know about it. You’re not entitled to records about it. If you live in California, your legislature can change that. Vote.

The following is excerpted from the internal affairs investigation of Glen Barawed. The full 480-page disciplinary file, including the arbitrator’s decision upholding Deputy Barawed’s termination is available for free on Patreon.

Deputy Glen Barawed is assigned to Centralized Investigations Division (CID) – Gang Suppression Unit. On September 19, 2019, at approximately 0620 hours, Deputy Barawed called Sergeant Prehoda via his cell phone to report he had been involved in a vehicle accident involving his home retention county vehicle. Deputy Barawed told Sergeant Prehoda he was on Haussman Street and Laguna Blvd in the City of Elk Grove.

Deputy Barawed told Sergeant Prehoda he was not injured and that he had hit a curb. Upon Sergeant Prehoda arriving at Haussman St and Laguna Blvd, he immediately noticed major damage to the front of Deputy Barawed’s county vehicle. The damage did not appear consistent with striking a curb. Deputy Barawed told Sergeant Prehoda the accident occurred on Cosumnes River Boulevard near Delta Shores in the City of Sacramento. Deputy Barawed was with his father who resided close by and had arrived at the Haussman Street location prior to Sergeant Prehoda arriving on scene.

Sergeant Prehoda admitted he did not smell or observe any signs of Barawed being under the influence of alcohol. Deputy Barawed had already requested a tow truck via the communication center. Sergeant Prehoda made arrangements with a CSI officer to stand by at the Haussman location for the tow truck.

Deputy Barawed’s father drove Deputy Barawed, followed by Sergeant Prehoda to the area of Cosumnes River Blvd and Delta Shores Circle near I-5. Sergeant Prehoda and Deputy Barawed located the collision scene on Cosumnes River Blvd east of Delta Shores Cir S, approximately 5.5 miles from where Deputy Barawed’s vehicle was parked on Haussman in Elk Grove. Sergeant Prehoda and Deputy Barawed identified the area where Barawed left the roadway, causing damage to an electrical box and knocking down two trees.

At approximately 0800 hours Sacramento Police Officer Kelly arrived on scene to handle the traffic collision. Officer Kelly’s interaction with Deputy Barawed was recorded on Officer Kelly’s body worn camera. On several occasions during their contact, Deputy Barawed stated he had struck the curb around 0600 or 0615 hours.

The facts of the case demonstrated that Deputy Barawed was repeatedly dishonest with Officer Kelly regarding the time he struck the curb. This in an integral element of the case, as Barawed’s dishonesty does not waver and continues on for over two hours while at the location of the accident.

Barawed also stated after looking down to reach for his phone he did not realize he hit the electrical box or the trees and believed he had only struck the curb, which is why he continued driving.

During Officer Kelly’s contact with Barawed he did not smell or observe any signs or symptoms of Barawed being under the influence of alcohol. At approximately 0953, hours Deputy Barawed consented to a PAS test. Prior to completing the PAS test, Deputy Barawed admitted to having “three tall cans of PBR beer” the night prior at 10:00pm or 11:00pm. Prior to this admission, Barawed had denied having had any alcohol.

Deputy Barawed’s PAS results were .046 and .047. These results are another key component to the case corroborating his dishonesty with Officer Kelley regarding the actual time of the accident.

During Deputy Barawed’s interview with Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) Sergeants Takahashi and Kloss, he stated he was having marital problems and he parked his county vehicle in our county garage and walked to a bar. After having two pint sized beers, he returned to our garage and drove to another bar. Deputy Barawed could not recall what time he arrived at The Trap or what time he left The Trap. Sometime thereafter, Deputy Barawed recalls striking the curb on Cosumnes River Boulevard after looking down for his phone.

Unbeknownst to Deputy Barawed, the investigation revealed DOT video footage of Deputy Barawed’s vehicle traveling east through the intersection of Cosumnes River Blvd and Delta Shores Cir at 0217 hours…

  1. You can tell a lot of the cops who showed afterwards are not very happy this cop did his job .., they know there’s a body cam so they kind of play along

  2. 1. Dad ruined his son's anonymity.
    2. That electrician was kind of a smarmy douche.
    3. I hope the Detective gets the help he needs. He doesnt seem like a bad person, just a bit lost.
    4. He probably should've taken the car to the desert, beat it with a bat, torch it and blame it on a gang. Bringing the other police to the actual scene is kinda self-snitching.

  3. "He's a detective. He's good at his job."

    He likely was.

    It's not the DUI that got him fired. It's the dishonesty.

    In the 80's, Sacramento County Sheriff Robbie Waters wrecked a county vehicle while DUI. I think he was driving home after a late night function where he had too much to drink.

    He came clean and owned his mistake. It was all over local media for months. But he admitted 100% fault and stayed Sheriff. Although he did not get re-elected for a second term (in large part due to the DUI) he was elected to City Council and would go on to serve 4 terms.

    Robbie Waters recently passed away at age 84. His obituary goes on at length describing his illustrious life and career. From his military service to his decades rising through the ranks of, first the Sacramento City Police Department, then the County Sheriff's Department, and then his 4 terms on the City Council.

    There is one sentence referencing his DUI. He is quoted as saying it was the greatest embarrassment of his life.

  4. Fired? He should be in jail for fraud. He will just get hired somewhere else and do the same corruption. When are people going to hold public employees to account for their actions? This is disturbing.

  5. When cops find their own people committing crimes they’ll most likely cover it all up. It’s genetically imprinted in their minds 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦‍♂️

  6. Let's give credit to these officers doing their job. They get ALOT of blame when some don't do their job. We need to balance that with THANKING those that uphold the law NO MATTER THE PERSON STATUS. These good cops are disgusted with this former (now) officer conduct. Yes people make mistakes but he lied and they know it. We need more officers like this.

  7. This video just shows us, that there are NO good cops. They cover up eachothers ass, and keep doing it. This country is a full of the corrupt blue line gang.

  8. Just imagine if in the US of A you had the ability (ie balls) to just roadside breath test/drug test motorists like most over LE around the World??? You can also get a Pharmacologist to calculate his BA reading at the time of offence.

  9. Who’s the blonde? She kind of morphs in with like 15 minutes to go, no big deal. But around 48:20 she’s on the sidewalk talking to him. I didn’t see any official gear on her, but she does seem to acknowledge each officer that passes with a gesture of they know each other, is she the wife? (Edit: continued watching. Clearly not the wife as she was the first and only? Person that was shown the breath reading) Or someone off duty? Does she play a role at all?

  10. I got a DUI a few years back .09 no accident no roadside sobriety test they just threw me in the back of the car and hauled my ass to jail. I’m also not a member of the thin blue line gang thank God.

  11. There is something important to know about this video. Until very recently, nearly all police disciplinary records were secret in California. That has changed, but only to the extent that misconduct is sustained and falls into one of two categories: sexual misconduct and dishonesty. Everything else is still secret. Without the dishonesty element, this entire incident would be confidential. You wouldn't know about it. You're not entitled to records about it. If you live in California, your legislature can change that. Vote.

    Just bears repeating. Again.

  12. I’m pretty sure he was getting drunk over near his old house where his soon to be ex wife lives waiting to see if someone was coming to visit her. Then he drove to his parents house drunk and crashed.

  13. Jesus dad, don’t help me. I could literally have killed a guy in front of my dad and privately he would probably say to me “the police aren’t stupid. This is gonna come back on you, and you deserve it”. If someone interviewed him he would have pretended he didn’t know what guns looked like and he might have heard a really loud bang but the kids across the street set off fireworks year round so he ignores those noises. And did he see me shoot someone? What reason would I have to shoot someone? Nope. Sorry can’t help you. I’m going back to bed. This dude sold his son out.

  14. So I can be clear? It’s customary when in a dui accident to get my own tow truck and come back 8 hours later to give my statement and breath test? And the police look under every bush not to contribute it to alcohol? If it wasnt for the liberalism cancer of California I’d move in a heartbeat

    There are two defenses to interference with public duties, which are outlined in the Texas Penal Code. Specifically, it is not against the law to:

    warn a motorist about the presence of a police officer that is enforcing Title 7 of the Transportation Code. Simply put, it’s not illegal to warn a motorist about a speed trap ahead by flashing your lights or other means.interrupt, disrupt, impede or interfere using speech only. For example, arguing with an officer over the validity of a search warrant is not unlawful. Speech is generally protected
