Colonie

A Troy police officer has been "relieved of duty" following a drunken driving charge after an off-duty crash in Colonie early Saturday, police said.

Kevin P. McKenna, who was sworn in as a city of Troy officer in July 2015, was charged with driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated and without an inspection certificate shortly after 12:30 a.m. Saturday, according to a Colonie Police Department arrest report.

McKenna, 26, of Colonie, was driving his 2011 Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The crash occurred at the intersection of Goodrich Avenue and Troy-Schenectady Road in Colonie. McKenna also refused to take a breathalyzer test, police said. Police could not provide further information about the crash or say if other vehicles were involved.

Troy Police Chief John Tedesco relieved McKenna of his duties pending an investigation into the incident. McKenna still is collecting pay, but the chief added he has not been suspended. He declined to say more.

"The protocol is we're doing an internal investigation and depending on what type of information is generated, that will decide our next course of action," Tedesco said Sunday.
