Title: Re: Officer of Bank's 2nd DUI

On a personal level, I wish they'd put him in a drunk tank for 30 days. He could kill somebody with his reckless disregard for life and the law.


SAFE act post only - I am also not sure DUI would qualify - but assaulting an officer may? I am in charge of SAFE Act in my bank, and we look at all criminal charges filed at the time of registration when we do the background check, as well as if we have 'knowledge' of any criminal charges while they are registered. We don't take any action on charges unless they are found guilty - which thank goodness I have not had to deal with - but even if not guilty we ask for a written explanation as it speaks to character of the MLO. Now, your reporting of it would certainly depend on your position in the company and theirs. For instance I would be expected to inform our Chief Risk Officer, because she is my boss, and I am responsible for controlling risk in our company. However, if another lender or a teller were to have the information I would concur with MYOB as it may not be taken the same way depending on your (and their) place in the company. Just my 2 cents....
