        Det. Greg Treadway, who is in the Metro Narcotics unit, was pulled over at 1:10 a.m. for driving 51 mph in a 35 mph zonethe police report said.

        According to county police spokesman Robert Biven, the arresting officer smelled alcohol and Detective Treadway refused all field sobriety tests.

        Jefferson County corrections spokesman Diane Curtis said Det. Treadway had a blood alcohol content of 0.153 when he was booked. Kentucky's legal limit is 0.08.
