A Topeka Police Officer was arrested Christmas Eve for Driving Under the Influence.

Jeremy Gallegos was booked into the Shawnee County Jail for suspicion of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.

Shawnee County Deputies responded to a traffic accident in the 3000 block of SW Randolph at the request of the Topeka Police Department.

That's where Officer Gallegos was taken into custody.

He has since been released.

Gallegos has been placed on administrative leave pending a review by the Shawnee Co. District Attorney's Office.
