A Vancouver police officer has been charged with impaired driving after being pulled over early Sunday morning.
Vancouver Police say the car being driven by the off-duty member of the force was spotted by another off-duty officer weaving on Knight Street.
Police say the 30-year-old officer blew over the legal limit in a breathalyzer test.
"He was given an administrative driving prohibition and was released on an appearance notice" says Vancouver police media spokesman Const. Tim Fanning.
The officer has been with the Vancouver police for three-and-a-half years and has been reassigned to other duties.
"We don't tolerate impaired driving in the city of Vancouver. We treat everyone the same way." Fanning added.
This is the fourth case to surface in recent weeks of police officers facing impaired charges in the Vancouver region.
An RCMP officer was arrested last month for drunk driving, causing death, following a crash that killed a 21-year-old man in Delta, B.C., while a North Vancouver Mountie and a New Westminster city police officer face impaired driving charges in separate incidents.
