Yavapai County Wrong Way Police Sergeant Arrested

On November 15, 2015, at approximately 11:00 p.m., a Yavapai County Sheriff Office deputy arrested 45-year-old Chris Stuart Harper for extreme DUI. The deputy stopped Harper for driving the wrong way and directly towards his police vehicle on Glassford Hill Road and Centre Court, Prescott Valley.

The deputy learned Harper had apparently turned out of the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant parking lot heading the wrong way on Glassford Hill. Harper admitted consuming a six pack of beer at the restaurant and indicated he was driving back to a nearby hotel. Based on field sobriety tests, the deputy determined Harper was DUI. Harper later submitted to a breath test which produced results of .25/.24 – more than 3 times the legal limit.

Harper was subsequently booked on four counts of DUI including Extreme DUI and DUI exceeding .20 or more. He has been released pending court proceedings. Harper is a police Sergeant, off duty at the time, working for an Arizona tribal police agency.
