In a sobering reminder of the responsibilities that those who wear the badge must shoulder, Dallas Police Officer Issac Burton, badge number #11784, was arrested last Saturday on charges of public intoxication. Authorities confirmed the incident involving Burton, who has been with the force since July 2019. The Dallas Police Department made the arrest, and Burton was charged with Misdemeanor C, specifically Public Intoxication.
Burton, who works in the Community Operations Division, is now on administrative leave after being found intoxicated by his department.
While an internal investigation is ongoing, he will stay on leave until it's complete. The details of his arrest are unclear, but the incident raises concerns about the department's relationship with the community.
