Aurora Cop Annette Brook Pleads Guilty To DUI, Gun Charge
A Douglas County judge sentenced Annette Brook to 20 days of in-home detention and 12 months probation.
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – An Aurora police officer, Annette Brook, has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and prohibited use of a weapon following her arrest last June by the Colorado State Patrol. Brook’s attorney, Jay Tiftjickian, told CBS4 he had no comment on the case, which was resolved last week, according to state records.
Colorado court records show CSP arrested Brook, 56, on June 17 after she was involved in a single car crash. Brook was off duty at the time and was driving a 2017 Jeep Cherokee. She hit a concrete highway barrier as she was westbound on C-470. Brook said she had fallen asleep at the wheel but authorities determined her blood alcohol content was .227, nearly three times the legal limit for DUI. A loaded handgun was found in her SUV.
