Here's hoping his treatment program is effective and that he can remain sober.CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) -
A Cincinnati police officer pleaded guilty Monday to a probation violation of drinking alcohol during firearms training.
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Brad Greenberg ordered Officer David Jenkins to continue probation, undergo a more aggressive alcohol abuse treatment program and wear an alcohol monitoring device for the next 30 days.
If the law enforcement veteran drinks any alcohol, even cough medicine, it will go off.
Also, a Dec. 22 court order removing all weapons from his possession remains in effect.
"It's certainly a concern that this is the second incident that involves both the use of alcohol and the possession of weapons. You need to get a handle on it," the judge told Jenkins.
"David is a good person who is struggling," Sgt. Dan Hils, police union president, said Monday. "The FOP and I will do everything we can to help him recover."
