The Dothan Police Department has named the fellow officer arrested after his odd behavior prompted an impromptu drug test.

Supervising Officer, Jonathan Whaley, has been charged with two counts of Unlawful Possession of a controlled Substance and two counts of Theft of Property 2nd Degree after exhibiting erratic and highly unusual behavior while on the job.

The Dothan Police Department issued the following statement on the officer’s arrest:

Earlier today some of our officers were engaged in a training class when one of the supervisors began acting strangely. Two supervisors identified his behavior as erratic and highly unusual.

After conferring with other members of the training class they exercised their authority under the City of Dothan’s drug testing policy and escorted the supervisor to the Health Clinic for mandatory drug testing. As policy dictates, the employee was placed on Administrative Leave. During the relief of duty process two bottles of a controlled substance were discovered in his police car. Vice officers were called and conducted a criminal investigation. source
