THUNDER BAY — A city police officer has been arrested on impaired driving charges and placed on administrative duties.

The responding officers found the driver and observed signs of impairment, police said in an afternoon news release.

The driver is charged with two counts related to impaired driving.

Police did not publicly release the name of the officer, saying it is being withheld because the charges have not been formally sworn before the courts.
