A 30-year-old male senior constable from the Far North Region has been served with a notice to appear in relation to allegedly driving a motor vehicle whilst under the influence of a prescription drug.
The officer was off duty at the time.
He has been stood down from the Queensland Police Service and is expected to appear before Hughenden Magistrates Court on September 10 for one count of driving a motor vehicle whilst under the influence of liquor or a drug.
In keeping with our commitment to high standards of behaviour, transparency and accountability, we have undertaken to inform the public when a member of the Service faces serious allegations of misconduct. This does not mean that the allegations against the member have been substantiated.
