An off-duty Winnipeg police officer is facing charges related to impaired driving on Henderson Highway.
The Winnipeg Police Service said they were called to a business in the 1300 block of Henderson Highway on Dec. 8 at approximately 10:45 p.m. for a suspected impaired driver who had left the location.
An investigation led to the arrest of the driver at a residence, identified as 39-year-old Oleksii Gerasymchuk — a two-year member of the police force.
Gerasymchuk faces two charges: operation of a conveyance while impaired to any degree by alcohol, drug or a combination of both, and being impaired within two hours of ceasing to operate a conveyance.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) was notified and is part of the ongoing investigation.
