A Florida Highway Patrol trooper has been jailed for five days after failing to appear in court last month for a DUI trial, according to the State Attorney's Office.

Trooper John Costa was sent to jail for contempt of court.

Costa's absence forced the State Attorney to enter a judgment of acquittal on all charges for a motorist with a history of drunk driving.

Before dismissing the case, court workers repeatedly tried to locate Costa, who did not answer telephone calls or knocks on the door of his home.

That's true, but Knight was not a trooper when he was arrested for disorderly conduct. Knight was hired by FHP after his arrest.

Is it my imagination or are there a lot of LEO arrests and prosecutions lately, with the exception of Locke, of course.

Michael would have locked this character up in a heartbeat for his many unduly violations. Michael wants to see this agency succeed at being the best it can be! Captain Mercurio has a nice ring to it son, soon....soon.....

Knock it off idiot. I could say the same about several deputies.
