Shaquile Ajene Williams, of Middletown, was arrested around 12:50 a.m., Monday, March 16, after the department in Southbury received a call reporting a state police cruiser parked on the side of I-84 in Waterbury with its hazard lights on, said the Connecticut State Police.
When state police arrived on the scene, they found Williams behind the wheel: "The operator was asleep or unresponsive," the arrest report said.
A supervisor responded to the scene and Williams agreed to perform the standardized field sobriety tests, which he failed, the department said.
Williams was taken into custody without incident and charged with DUI.
Williams, who has been with the department for two years, has been suspended and a department investigation is underway.
He was released on a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on April 21.
Williams was off duty at the time of his arrest.
