An off-duty police officer has been charged with mid-range drink-driving after being arrested on the Mid North Coast yesterday.
About 7.30pm (Thursday 23 February 2023), officers attached to Manning Great Lakes Highway Patrol stopped a motor vehicle on Manning River Drive, Taree.
The driver, a 53-year-old woman, was arrested after returning a positive roadside reading.
She was taken to Taree Police Station where a breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.101.
The off-duty sergeant, who is attached to a specialist command, was issued a field court attendance notice for mid-range PCA and is due to appear at Taree Local Court on Wednesday 23 March 2023.
The woman’s license was suspended, and her employment status is under review.
