MSP Cadillac Post trooper charged with drunken driving
By Antonio Coleman
CADILLAC — Sammy Seymour, a trooper assigned to the MSP Cadillac Post,
was arraigned in Mason County Saturday on charges of operating a motor
vehicle while intoxicated and transporting open intoxicants.
The charges are the result of an arrest made by the Ludington Police Department during an off-duty incident on Saturday.
A statement from the Michigan State Police read: "The MSP has a
long-standing tradition of demanding the highest possible standards of
professional conduct from its enforcement and civilian members. To that
end, all allegations of misconduct are aggressively investigated.”
Regardless of whether a criminal charge results in a conviction,
employees can still be subject to administrative penalties resulting
from violations of department policy, according to the statement.
Seymour, a 15-year member of the department, has been placed on
administrative duty, pending the outcome of the judicial process.
