He'd had a minor accident. He ran his car into a fence in the back of the parking lot.
Investigators said Anderson was drunk. They said he wasn't hurt and was cooperative and polite at the scene.
As to why a cop was driving drunk at a police station:
Brooklyn Center Police said it looks like just a coincidence. That somehow Anderson turned off the road at the police station and hit the fence. We don't know if he was heading there for some reason, or if in fact it was just where he happened to end up.
