Cop May Be Liable in Plot to Set Up DUI Arrests

Cop May Be Liable in Plot to Set Up DUI Arrests


SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - A federal judge refused to dismiss claims over a private detective's "dirty DUI" scheme to tarnish the reputation his client's estranged husband.

While Lane Bauldry was going through a divorce in 2010, his now-ex-wife Mona Daggett allegedly hired private investigator Christopher Butler to nab him in a so-called dirty DUI.

The scheme involves women plying a client's unsuspecting husband with alcohol and then persuading him to give them a ride somewhere, at which point he falls into the clutches of a police officer who had been lying in wait to make the bust.

After his November 2010 arrest in a dirty DUI, Daggett used that report to have the court limit how much time Bauldry could spend with their daughter, according to his federal complaint.
