State police say now former trooper was DUI while on duty

ELKINS, W.Va. — A now former state police trooper is charged with aggravated DUI after an on-duty crash last Friday in Randolph County.

A news release from state police Wednesday said Kaja Tenney, 26, was driving drunk while on duty. She was charged Saturday and also separated from employment on Saturday.

According to a criminal complaint, Tenney registered .377 on a breathalyzer test.

Drunk driving in West Virginia is .08 with aggravated DUI at anything above .15 blood alcohol content.

The criminal complaint said damage to Tenney’s vehicle matched the description of damage from a wreck on U.S. Route 219. Tenney was found in the Ford Explorer on South Kerns Ave.

Tenney later posted $5,000 bond and was released.
