Off-duty Tampa Police officer arrested for DUI in Pasco County
TAMPA, Florida - An off-duty Tampa Police officer was arrested on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) Friday evening. Jesse Horn, a corporal with the Tampa Police Department, was arrested at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 16, 2024, by the Pasco County Sheriff's Office following a traffic stop on southbound US Highway 19 near Glissade Drive in New Port Richey. Horn was the sole occupant of the vehicle. "This incident is deeply disappointing to me, our department, and our community," said Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw. "Our officers are entrusted with upholding the law and protecting our community. Every employee is expected to hold themselves to the highest standards, both on and off duty." Hired in 2007, Horn was immediately relieved of duty pending the outcome of the criminal investigation. The Tampa Police Department will also conduct an internal investigation into the matter, according to a press release from the department.
