Federal Drug Prosecutor Caught Offering Business Card in DUI Crash Arrest, Body Cam Footage Reveals

Joseph Ruddy, a prominent federal narcotics prosecutor, was caught on body cam footage attempting to use his position to mitigate the consequences of a DUI hit-and-run incident. Despite being charged, Ruddy remained on the job for two months before being pulled off pending criminal cases. The case has been referred to the Office of the Inspector General, and an investigation will likely focus on whether Ruddy was using his public office for personal gain. Ruddy, known for his work in targeting cocaine smuggling at sea, faces charges of driving under the influence with property damage.
