The Portland police officer most famous for being involved in an OUI crash after a night out in the Old Port has been promoted to captain of patrol, chosen over the Portland police officer most famous for trying to control drinkers in the Old Port.

Lieutenant Ted Ross is known for driving his city-issue unmarked cruiser into another car on York Street in December 2002, resulting in a taxpayer bill of $271,000 to the driver not only of the car he hit, but also of the one that was hit in the richochet. The real catch? Ross had been drinking at an open-bar police department party hosted by then-chief Michael Chitwood, and then went from there to another bar with other senior officers from the department. He was heading home to Cape Elizabeth when he crashed, and later pled guilty to OUI.

Ross was not booked for OUI, but later took it upon himself to revise the accident report to reflect the fact that he had been drinking. The responding officers swore up and down, including in court, that he had not appeared impaired to them, though his blood-alcohol level was reported to be 0.25 percent, or more than three times the legal limit.

He was also charged with a misdemeanor, meaning he would not lose his legal right to carry a firearm - as is true of convicted felons - and therefore his job, if he pleaded guilty.

Ross, who was for a time transferred to a less-desirable position supervising the officers working at the Portland International Jetport, now outranks Lieutenant Janine Roberts, the department's first woman lieutenant, who was also up for the post.

Roberts is in charge of the special unit of police officers charged with keeping order in the Old Port, and is closely involved in the city's efforts to crack down on the area, which is no worse off than most other New England cities. And, Portland's effort is being done without the help of national groups succeeding at balancing bars and economic development elsewhere, leading to frustration from bar owners and city officials alike.
