A Connecticut State Police sergeant is facing DUI charges.
John McDonald was arrested Tuesday in connection with an off-duty car accident in September. He has been on paid administrative leave since last Thursday.
Police say McDonald was driving his assigned state vehicle when he ran a stop sign and hit another car with two people inside. All three people involved were hurt.
McDonald is facing several charges, including driving under the influence of liquor and/or drugs. An internal affairs investigation is ongoing.
McDonald is due in court Dec. 2.
