Court records show he refused a field sobriety test.
The 48-year-old was arrested in December for a DUI in Bradford County. During that arrest, which was also made by FHP, he told a trooper he had “about 6 beers and a shot of Crown Apple” during a family get-together, according to the arrest report.

Coldiron previously worked as the Clay County detention director.
