Tempe police officer celebrated for curbing ****** driving arrested in DUI

Tempe police Officer Zachary Hyde, who had been recognized for his efforts to combat driving under the influence, was arrested in a DUI, according to the Tempe Police Department on Friday.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety notified Tempe police early Wednesday about Hyde’s DUI arrest, which occurred while he was off-duty, according to a news release.

Tempe Police Department placed Hyde on administrative leave pending an internal affairs investigation, as DPS conducted the DUI investigation.

A spokesperson for the Tempe Police Department declined to provide further information on Hyde’s arrest.

On June 29, Hyde received a “Hero Award” from Mothers Against ****** Driving, a nonprofit that promotes sober driving and support for victims of ****** driving-related accidents.

“Any time a ********* investigation is brought to our attention about one of our officers, we take the matter very seriously,” wrote the Tempe police spokesperson.

MADD did not immediately respond to The Arizona Republic’s request for comment on Hyde’s award given his arrest.
