Elgin OPP had notified their counterparts in Aylmer after observing a speeding vehicle — it was going too fast to catch up with — travelling north on Imperial Road, north of Aylmer, around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 14, the court heard.
An officer who pulled her over could smell alcohol on the breath of Martin, who admitted drinking three or four beers, the court heard.
Police arrested Martin after she failed a roadside test. She was taken back to the Aylmer police station, where she provided two breath samples, registering a blood alcohol content of 0.2 and 0.21 — well over the legal limit of 0.08, the court heard. Martin was charged with driving with more than 80 mg of alcohol in blood and released on a promise to appear in court.
London police reassigned Martin, a 19-year service member and investigator with the major crimes unit, to administrative duties after she was charged.
Martin remains on administrative duties.
