An Edison police officer was charged with driving under the influence on Friday after a minor crash, the department announced.

Edison police said Robert Bertucci rear-ended another car around 2:30 a.m. on Route 1 near John Street. Two people were in the car that was hit, and neither needed medical treatment.

Bertucci had just come from the Fox & Hound sports bar in the Menlo Park Mall with another officer in the passenger seat, a law enforcement source said.

Bertucci is suspended with pay while the department’s internal affairs bureau investigates. Records list his salary as $75,000.

Before joining Edison’s force in 2014, Bertucci was an officer in Springfield for three years.
