One of the five US Navy commanding officers fired last week was removed from his position for being caught drunk driving, it has been claimed.
Cmdr. Peter Lesaca, commanding officer of USS Preble guided-missile destroyer, was relieved from his duties ‘due to loss of confidence in his ability to command,’ according to a Navy statement released on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Navy spokesman Cmdr. Arlo Abrahamson told Military.com the commander’s removal came after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
