An off-duty police officer has been charged with mid-range drink driving and refusing a roadside breath test, following a crash in Sydney’s north-west on Saturday morning.


Just after midnight, police were called to the scene of a crash with a parked car on Kirby Street, Dundas, where the 46-year-old leading senior constable allegedly refused to partake in a roadside breath test and was arrested as a result.


After being taken to Granville Police Station, the officer – who is attached to a specialist command – returned a reading of 0.144, almost three times the legal limit.


The officer will appear before Parramatta Local Court in early November, facing charges of mid-range prescribed concentration of alcohol, refusing a breath test and negligent driving.


NSW Police would not be drawn further on the matter, though the officer’s duty status remains under review.
