Two Fort Worth Police Officers Fired By Fort Worth's Hottest Male For Driving While Intoxicated

That is a Fort Worth Police Officer, Evangelin G. Carr, in the picture, resisting arrest by Keller police after he failed a field sobriety test on August 18.

The picture was taken by the dash-cam video cop camera. The video shows Carr resisting arrest when the Keller police attempted to handcuff him. Over and over again Carr is heard saying he does not want to lose his job.

Yesterday, Fort Worth Police Chief, Jeffrey Halstead, fired Officer Carr, saying, "Officer Carr’s actions and behavior is a discredit to all of the hardworking men and women of the Fort Worth Police Department and will not be tolerated."

E. G. Carr's criminal case is pending.

The second Fort Worth Police Officer fired yesterday was P. Payton (first name not disclosed). Payton was found guilty of the Class B Misdemeanor of driving while intoxicated on September 21. Payton was arrested in North Richland Hills on January 25, driving drunk while off duty.

On a totally different, yet somewhat related note. This week's annual Best of 2009 edition of Fort Worth Weekly, in the People & Politics section, in the Hottest Local Celebrity (Male) category, picked the aforementioned Fort Worth Police Chief Jeff Halstead as the Hottest Local Male, saying...

"His good looks are on the rugged side, but in his mid-40s, Fort Worth's current chief can still turn some heads. So nice that staying fit is part of the job. And humility has its own charm, of course: Halstead started out making excuses and sounding defensive after the Rainbow Lounge incident, but when evidence showed officers had been in the wrong, he backtracked convincingly. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that a cop beat him up when he was 19. Ah, there's more allure: a man with a past."
