CINCINNATI (WXIX) – Newly released bodycam footage shows authorities stopping a Cincinnati police officer who was later charged with OVI.
Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers pulled over Justin Shields, a CPD District 4 officer, around 1 a.m. on April 14 in Clermont County, according to court records.
The traffic citation claims Shields was going 80 mph on Interstate 275 in a 65 mph zone.
Shields can be seen telling the trooper he had “literally nothing” to drink and that he was only taking a friend home.
The citation shows Shields refused a breathalyzer at the scene.
Shields has pleaded not guilty. His next court date is April 27
