On August 18, 2009, police charged Titusville Battalion Chief of Emergency Medical Services and Training with driving under the influence. Titusville suspended the chief, Bob Allard, with pay pending the criminal investigation.
Allard allegedly pulled into an Orlando area DUI checkpoint in his personal vehicle. He admitted to police that he had consumed three rum and colas earlier in the evening. Allard did agree to submit to a breathalyzer test. He blew .172 and .176. This is over twice the Florida legal limit for alcohol consumption of .08.
The City of Titusville has determined that Allard's arrest violated ethics policies. He is suspended from the force for a period of three weeks. During this time he is also not permitted to use his government vehicle. Allard will not receive any special treatment for his government position and will be held accountable for his actions.
