According to the IndyStar.com and WISHTV.com, Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi said in a news conference Thursday that the evidence that shows Officer Dave Bisard was drunk at the time of the fatal accident may not be admissible in court.

Brizzi said his office has discovered the blood draw process may have been faulty. The draw was conducted by a lab tech, not a phlebotomist and was also not done at a hospital as required by the law.

Indianapolis Public Safety Director Frank Straub also said the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been called in to investigate the investigation into the incident. “Our investigation failed,” Straub told the media as he announced the lieutenant in charge of the Fatal Alcohol Crash Team’s investigation had been removed from his post. Straub cited the investigation’s failure as the reason for reassigning the lieutenant. “We are embarrassed,” Straub said, “regardless we still have officers who come to work to do their job with respect and integrity.

These incidents are not indicative of the IMPD.” The blood test in question shows that Bisard’s blood alcohol content level was more than twice the legal limit when he plowed into two motorcycles, killing one person and seriously injuring two others. Bisard won another battle Thursday when a judge granted a motion to restore his driver’s license.

A Marion County judge ruled that the automatic suspension of Bisard’s driver’s license was invalid since none of the officers at the scene mentioned that Bisard was drunk in their case reports.
