A Massachusetts police officer was arrested on drunken driving charges in another town this weekend, police said Tuesday.
East Bridgewater Police Sgt. Thomas Flint was placed on leave Saturday, the department said, citing an incident that happened while he was off duty in another community.
The department didn't share more information beyond that Flint would remain on leave while an internal investigation and court proceedings took place.
Flint was arrested in Raynham about 11:20 p.m. after a local police officer saw a black SUV driving erratically and speeding past two vehicles, Raynham police said. The 50-year-old from Bridgewater was pulled over and determined to be intoxicated at the scene.
