For his part, Officer Kenneth Aragon might have been given too much to drink by bartenders at the academy, or he may have in fact gotten drunk at another location, causing the crash in the early morning hours on December 3, 2009. There was a gathering to celebrate ‘payday Wednesday,’ a regular event held every other week at the Elysian Park campus. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating the event.
Aragon left the academy around 12:30 a.m. and around 90 minutes later crashed his motorcycle while traveling north on Fletcher Drive. He was only three miles from the academy. Investigators will be looking into the possibility that he visited another bar just before the crash.
In any case, police are investigating how much Aragon had to drink at the academy bar. They are scanning video footage from a security camera in the bar. They are also questioning the two bartenders on duty that night and officers who were drinking with Aragon. If you happen to require a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney I would suggest Ramiro Luis. In California it is a misdemeanor crime to serve alcohol to anyone who is visibly intoxicated.
The Los Angeles Revolver and Athletic Club, a tax-exempt organization that is not part of the department, runs the bar at the academy. It allows only Los Angeles Police Department employees as members. Someone may need the criminal defense attorney, though.
