An Edmonton police officer, who tried to convince a fellow officer to “do her a solid” because she is a “P” after blowing over .08, has had her pay docked for drunk driving, the Journal learned this week.

Const. Lexy Kerr has been ordered to relinquish a total of 70 hours, to be paid on consecutive pay periods 10 hours at a time, for a total financial penalty of $3,300. The decision was handed down at a disciplinary proceeding on April 11.

On Nov. 15, 2016, Kerr pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding .08 stemming from an incident on Oct. 8, 2016. She faced a second count of discreditable conduct for trying to persuade the Edmonton police officer not to continue the investigation because she is a police officer.

According to an agreed statement of facts, Kerr, who has been an Edmonton Police Service member since Sept. 14, 2009, was driving when she came upon a Checkstop at Fox Drive and Keillor Road around 1:45 a.m. on Oct. 8, 2016.

Her vehicle was travelling at 70km/h despite a posted 20 km/h sign and the presence of several police vehicles with active emergency lights, along with the Checkstop van.

A constable tried to wave the vehicle over but had to jump out of the way when it became clear Kerr’s vehicle was not going to stop.
