FERNDALE, MI -- An off-duty Roseville police officer, who was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving while driving the wrong way on Woodward in Ferndale Nov. 9, was never given a breathalyzer or arrested, but instead driven home by police, WDIV-TV, Channel 4 News reported.

Roseville Police Chief James Berlin said his officer is currently on paid administrative leave. An internal investigation is being conducted.

"We take the actions of our officers both on and off duty very seriously and any breach of the public trust or actions that can besmirch that trust cannot be tolerated," Berlin said. "Once the investigation is completed we will decide what action is appropriate to take after reviewing all of the pertinent facts of the matter."

The incident, which came to light within the Ferndale Police Department after its handling was questioned by another officer, also spurred an internal investigation within the Ferndale Police Department, the Detroit Free Press reports.

According to WDIV, Ferndale police submitted a criminal warrant review request in the case, which means the off-duty officer could still face charges related to driving while intoxicated.

MLive has requested comment and information from Ferndale police and is awaiting response.
