PORTSMOUTH, Va. — A former Portsmouth police officer is officially off the job and will spend 10 days in jail.
A Hampton judge found Carmen Johnson guilty of reckless driving an SUI earlier this week. She will also stay on probation for a year.
According to court documents, in May, Hampton police pulled Johnson over after she almost hit a police car and found her blood alcohol level to be just above the legal limit. When officers tried to arrest her, she allegedly kicked one of them, but online court records show the "assault on a law enforcement officer" charge was withdrawn.
Portsmouth police confirm Johnson is no longer employed with the department.
