Bastrop police chief charged with second DWI

The same officer to make alcohol-related arrests was charged in his own DWI arrest on Aug. 17. David Board, police chief, and 25 year veteran to the City's Police Department, was placed on leave after the arrest that occurred in Austin. Board's blood alcohol level test showed he had nearly three times over the legal limit. This goes to show that no one is perfect, and even a public official can make mistakes. Some might argue mistakes that are quite costly. If the loss of a career wasn't enough, Board's full-retirement was set for Oct. 31. This is Board's second DWI charge. I think it's safe to say someone didn't learn there lesson the first time.
