SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle police department says two of its officers have been arrested for suspicion of a hit-and-run and driving under the influence.
Seattle police spokesman Sean Whitcomb says a local resident noticed a collision just after midnight Monday, saying that a woman driving a Nissan Altima had front-end damage. The witness said the woman stopped the car and switched seats with a male passenger and they drove off.
Whitcomb says officers did an area check and found the Altima a few blocks away, parked two to three feet away from the curb with the engine still running. Officers recognized the pair in the car as off-duty police officers.
A duty captain responded to the scene and the pair was arrested.
Investigators aren't sure yet what the pair struck while driving.
We will wait and see the outcome of this matter but it seems like switching places in a seat is bad enough.
