Dallas (WBAP/KLIF) – The Dallas Police Association released a statement early Monday morning criticizing the release on bail of the drunk driving suspect charged with crashing into and killing motorcycle officer Jamie Givens early Saturday morning:
“It is reprehensible that Adrian Breedlove, the man arrested and charged with the intoxication manslaughter of a Dallas police officer, was given a $76,000 bail allowing him to spend less than one day in jail. This was a violent death caused by a man whose blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit at 6AM. The officer he is charged with killing was a 55-year old father of two who was only months away from retirement. We demand to know if District Attorney Faith Johnson asked a district court judge to require a more substantial bond for such a heinous crime. If she made no such effort then perhaps it’s time to find a District Attorney who takes more seriously the killing of police officers.”

The funeral service for Givens has been set for 11:00 AM Thursday at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano.,
