Former Colorado State Trooper Sentenced to Jail for DU

Former Trooper David Dolan Sentenced to 10 Days in Jail for DUI

David Dolan entered guilty pleas to Driving Under the Influence and prohibited use of a weapon in a Douglas County courtroom on Monday September 27th. Defense Attorney Mike Moran asked the court to sentence Mr. Dolan to in home detention but that request was denied. Instead the former Colorado State Trooper was sentenced to 10 days in jail. He must also complete 65 hours of useful public service and pay a $1500 fine.

This should provide closure to the incident that started on March 22, 2010. Trooper David Dolan was on duty and driving a marked patrol car when motorist called in about his erratic driving. Mr. Dolan’s BAC at the time of his arrest was 0.194. The Colorado DWAI limit is 0.05 and the Colorado DUI limit is 0.08.

The Colorado State Patrol placed Trooper Dolan on unpaid leave following the arrest and fired him in June.
