Fled the scene? I doubt it. From Foxnews.com:

The officer, Calvin Bridges, told WPXT-TV the issue should not have any bearing on the election, and that he is afraid of becoming a political pawn. He also said he would have no problem speaking up about the arrest if it had happened recently or if he believed Bush currently had a drinking problem.

Bridges told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he recalled driving home from work after midnight and spotting a car slipping briefly onto the shoulder before getting back on the road.

Bush, the driver, failed a road sobriety test and a second test in the police station, registering a 0.10 blood-alcohol level — the legal limit at the time, Bridges said.

Asked about Bush's demeanor, the retired officer said, "The man was, and I say this without being facetious, a picture of integrity. He gave no resistance. He was very cooperative."
