Qld: Off duty cop caught drink driving: police

An off duty police officer has allegedly been caught drink driving in central coastal
Queensland .. with a blood alcohol reading almost three times the legal limit.

Police say the 35-year-old Townsville man had a blood alcohol reading of point-149
during a random breath test in Rockhampton yesterday morning.

He's due to appear in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on Monday.





The incident follows recent cases of off-duty police officers drink driving in Mackay and Bowen.

Queensland Police Commissioner BOB ATKINSON said the Ethical Standards Command would
conduct investigations into the incidents.
