An Ottawa police constable has been charged with impaired driving in an off-duty incident in west Quebec earlier this summer, Ottawa police say.

Const. Jarrid Foley, 37, was charged by MRC des Collines-de-l'Outaouais after an incident on July 5, Ottawa police said in a media release issued Thursday.

The officer wasn't charged until Sept. 9.

Foley is facing two impaired driving charges and has been assigned to administrative duties, Ottawa police said.

The Ottawa police professional standards section has also started an internal investigation.
