LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- An Arkansas state trooper who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor negligent homicide charge is arrested once again.
Andrew Rhew was arrested in Dunklin County, Missouri for DWI that resulted in him wrecking his vehicle. Police says he is also cited for failure to drive on the right half of roadway resulting in an accident.
Rhew has resigned from the Arkansas State Police.
Rhew was charged with felony manslaughter in a Nov. 3, 2009, wreck that occurred as he was responding to a call in Manila without using his siren or flashing lights. His patrol vehicle collided with a car, killing Blytheville resident Vickie Freemyer.
Rhew pleaded no contest to a negligent homicide charge in April 2010. He was fired in December then reinstated in March after his attorney argued no decision on his employment should be made until after his criminal trial.
He was then fired again but after a second appeal, he was reinstated once again in July.
