Officer from Gatineau, Quebec, under accusation of driving under influence, despite being suspended from duty.
Rewritten Article:
Hey there! Let's dive into some juicy news from Gatineau. One of their brave cops is in hot water after allegedly driving under the influence - but this ain't your typical story.
Seems like the cop was off-duty and suspended, not due to any police scandal, but because of a prior arrest—but we're vague on the deets about that one. The incident took place during a disturbance call, as the officer was traveling in his personal vehicle. Quite a wild twist, huh?
The Gatineau police were pretty suspicious that the officer was smashed, so they took him to the Sûreté du Québec police station to confirm their suspicions with a breathalyzer test. And boy, were they right! According to their statement, the test results showed that the officer was well over the legal alcohol limit.
Now, remember, this is a suspended officer we're talking about, so they took him to court instead of the usual precinct. He got out on a promise to appear in court, but we don't have the details on when or where yet.
As for the ministry involved, they were decent enough to hear about the allegations against the officer. But hey, don't take our word for it; check out our website for all the latest news, or download our killer news app for news delivered straight to your phone!

Now, here's a fun fact: The officer supposedly isn't the only one who's in some hot water.

Apparently, this all went down during a wild car chase between Highway 15 in Elgin and Smiths Falls on April 27, 2025. You can bet we'll be keeping an eye on this unfolding drama!
