Hey is this the same officer featured in your 2010 story on dwi Fraud and dismissals ?

Yes, Eastridge was the arresting officer in one of the DWI cases that was dismissed under suspicious circumstances. In that case the blood alcohol level of the defendant was altered in an SBI report, causing the prosecutor to drop the case. Eastridge would not have had access to the report, so suspicion would center on either the SBI lab or the clerk of courts office.
