Potts patroled Raleigh and surrounding areas before being put on desk duty Monday.
The Highway Patrol's image has been tarnished recently by embarrassing reports of trooper misconduct.
Recent problems include a major who resigned after sending sexually explicit text messages, a captain fired for drunk driving, a sergeant fired for abusing his patrol dog and others dismissed or forced to resign for shooting a cat, lying in court and being investigated in the sexual assault of a driver.
Recently, Governor Bev Perdue appointed a committee to help overhaul the Highway Patrol and prevent future misconduct.
