A Juno Beach cop was arrested Wednesday after refusing a field sobriety test.
The officer, Calvin McGriff, reportedly told deputies he was having health issues related to his diabetes.
A police report said a witness called 911 as he followed a possible drunk driver swerving through lanes near Delray Beach.
The driver was later identified as McGriff.
Deputies said they smelled alcohol on his breath. McGriff told deputies he was having a diabetic attack. But as they waited for paramedics, McGriff called his wife and told her he was going to jail, officials said.
He then refused a field sobriety test and was arrested.
McGriff was released a couple of hours after his arrest.
