TOLEDO, Ohio — A Walbridge police officer is out of a job and facing charges for allegedly showing up to a call drunk .

Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko told 11 Investigates that Officer Michael Ervin arrived at the scene on Aug. 23 more than twice the legal limit to drive, with a BAC of .168.

He said that the people who originally called for help called to report Ervin was intoxicated. Those residents called police after they returned home and found their truck door open. When Ervin arrived, they called the Wood County dispatcher to say they believed he was drunk.

A Lake Township officer responded and then called the Walbridge police chief to report he believed Ervin may have been drinking. A separate Walbridge officer arrived and took over the case and also drove Ervin home.
