Major Crimes Detective David Catchings Jr.Former Chattanooga detective David Catchings Jr. was indicted today on charges of reckless driving, driving under the influence and violation of implied consent.
Catchings was arrested twice in late 2014 for two separate incidents. He was fired from the Chattanooga Police Department last week.
Catchings was first arrested in September and charged with DUI after a witness called police because Catchings was weaving dangerously through traffic.
When the officer pulled Catchings over, the 35-year-old’s speech was slurred and he didn’t know where he was going. The car was filled with empty beer bottles.
Catchings was arrested again on New Year’s Eve after he allegedly got into a fight with his mother-in-law and struck her in the face.
