A veteran sheriff's deputy has lost his job after he was arrested for DWI following a hit and run on Thursday. 

Deputy Clint Gray, 50, was also booked for reckless operation and resisting an officer after the wreck, which happened while he was off-duty Thursday night. Gray has been with the department since 2001. 

“This is certainly disappointing news. He is a veteran of the LPSO & his conduct is unacceptable,” Sheriff Jason Ard said in a statement.

Gray has been released from jail as of early Friday afternoon.
