WINTER GARDEN, Fla. -- A recent crackdown on drunk drivers led some local deputies to a surprising arrest: the Winter Garden deputy fire chief. But Thomas Berrios is still driving a take-home city vehicle.

The deputy fire chief was suspended without pay for two days the week after his arrest. The chief says Berrios called him from jail right away and wanted to do the right thing.

Deputy chief Thomas Berrios is sobered up and back on the job. Two weekends ago, the sheriff's office says he was driving with a .20 blood-alcohol level, more than twice the legal limit.

The report says, when Berrios got out of his car that night, he was "staggering" and that his "speech was slurred and thick-tongued."

Fire Chief John Williamson says Berrios was not on duty and does not drive emergency vehicles. So, the city decided a two-day suspension without pay was appropriate.

"He's been a great employee. He's doing more good for us working, than not working," says Williamson.

The chief says Berrios is owning up to this, feels very sorry about it and is embarrassed as well. The city's disciplinary report says if it ever happens again, Berrios could be fired.
