The police officer who arrested John Michael Montgomery last year for drunken driving was fired on Wednesday (Feb. 21). Officials
in Lexington, Ky., charged Joshua Cromer with unbecoming conduct, dishonesty and insubordination after he arrested Montgomery
on Feb. 14, 2006, near the singer's home. Following the arrest, Cromer altered a photograph to show himself posing with Montgomery
and then posted it on his own MySpace page. Montgomery's attorneys also say witnesses saw Cromer approach Montgomery while
they were both in the Austin City Saloon in Lexington earlier that night. Cromer had been on suspension for a year. Montgomery
entered an Alford plea in August to the DUI charge, meaning that he did not admit guilt in the case but conceded there was
enough evidence to convict him.
