DOVER, Del. (AP) — The head of the agency charged with enforcing Delaware’s alcohol laws has resigned after being arrested for drunken driving.

Siobahn Sullivan submitted her resignation letter to Secretary of Safety and Homeland Security Lewis Schiliro on Friday, saying she was resigning effective immediately as director of the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement.

Sullivan was stopped for speeding early Thursday on Route 1 near Lewes and subsequently charged with drunken driving. The 45-year-old Sullivan was released pending arraignment, which is scheduled for Oct. 22., and had been placed on administrative leave with pay.

Sullivan is a retired state police sergeant and was the commander of the executive protection unit assigned to former Gov. Ruth Ann Minner.

Ten Years Earlier-

As chief of New Jersey's Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, John Holl was known as a strict enforcer: For six years, Reuters reports, Holl "cracked down on illegal liquor industry kick-backs, organized a summit on responsible college drinking and beefed up police patrols near liquor outlets to stop underage drinking." Maybe he beefed up one patrol too many: Last fall, a cop pulled over Holl for drunk driving.
