Rookie SFPD Officer Involved In Alleged DUI Crash Loses Job, Gets Charged On Multiple Counts
Newly graduated SFPD officer Ryan Kwong faces serious legal consequences after being charged with multiple counts of DUI and reckless driving following a crash in the Outer Sunset. The incident occurred just two days post-graduation, involving Kwong's BMW colliding with a Toyota minivan that had three passengers, one of whom is in critical condition. Authorities reported Kwong's blood alcohol concentration at over . 15%, well above the legal limit. SFPD Chief Bill Scott stated, "No one is above the law," reinforcing the department's commitment to accountability.
Kwong has been fired from the SFPD and is currently held in custody, with an arraignment set for May 21. The charges against him include four counts of DUI causing injury and three counts of reckless driving. This incident raises significant concerns about the behavior of law enforcement officers and their adherence to the law. The SFPD aims to ensure justice is served in this case, highlighting the importance of responsible conduct among its ranks.
