The Justice Department’s inspector general redacted information about the identity of the prosecutor and where he worked in a report obtained by BuzzFeed News.

WASHINGTON — A federal prosecutor arrested for drunk driving used anti-gay slurs and other abusive language, misused his authority, and threatened the jobs of law enforcement officers, according to anAccording to the report, the prosecutor, who is not named, was initially cooperative when he was arrested and given a field sobriety test.

One witness at the jail reported that the man threatened to “sue his ass,” and other witnesses reported hearing the former prosecutor use threatening language, including, “I will prosecute every single one of you,” “Wait until I get out,” and “Do you know who the fuck I am?” One witness told investigators that the man said, “You don’t know who you are messing with. I’m going to have all of your jobs.

The report also did not address whether the incident affected any cases the prosecutor had worked on, including whether he worked on cases involving LGBTQ people or discrimination. A Justice Department spokesperson did not return a request for comment. The inspector general’s office redacted the date of the man’s arrest; the report is dated March 3.

One witness said officers gave the prosecutor several chances to comply with commands at the jail because of his position, but he refused. Earlier during his arrest, the man expressed concern that he’d face violence at the jail because he was a prosecutor, but officials told the inspector general’s office that he was kept separate from the general population; they said he received the same treatment that an official in a similar position would have received.
