Shocking new information about a Fresno county Sheriff’s Deputy accused of driving under the influence while on the job.
A newly released incident report says Deputy Brian Hillis was driving on a suspended license.
The deputy’s suspension was based on him not paying child support.
The report also reveals that Deputy Hillis told a Fresno Police Officer he was taking a mixture of the prescription drug Klonopin, used to treat a variety of things from anxiety to bipolar disorder to seizures, and the over the counter anti histamine Benadryl.
Following his medical exam, it was determined Hillis was under the influence of both a depressant, and a stimulant.
Deputy Hillis is on paid administrative leave.

This officer did make some bad choices and he going to face the conseqences. Let the judge determine his fate,hopefully lesson learned for him so he can get back to his duty continuing being a swore police officer.

This arrest has nothing to do with sub par hiring practices. He has been a deputy for 14 years. This has to do with ongoing accountability. This is not wide spread lets not jump on law enforcement in general, let's pick on this one persons bad choices. All police officers should hold their heads high for protecting us.

I think there is alot more of this going on in the department, and alot of cops just take advantage of their power. This story is like a clown infiltrated the department, same thing!

Because no one really cares anymore...These past few years the departments have been forced to hire sub-par employees and be forced to deal with their inadequate performance issues..Good Luck FSO and please stay sober!
