Officer charged with impaired driving crime:

A veteran Lanark County detective arrived at an investigation Saturday and was arrested by another officer for impaired driving, the OPP says.

Police said officers attended a residence on Roger Stevens Dr. in Montague Twp. for an unrelated investigation. A plainsclothes detective arrived just before 4 p. m. in an unmarked police vehicle to help in the probe.

According to police, an on-duty sergeant observed the detective and arrested him for impaired driving.

Lanark County OPP Det. Const. Steve Brown, who has been a provincial police officer for 15 years, was charged with impaired driving and having an illegal blood-alcohol level. He was released from custody and is expected to appear in Perth court Aug. 31.
