A Bloomfield police officer has been placed on paid administrative leave after he was arrested for allegedly driving drunk over the weekend, according to Capt. Steven Hajdasz.
State police arrested Officer Adrian Loignon, 30, early Saturday morning near his home in Burlington. He was not on duty at the time.
According to state police, a resident spotted Loignon driving erratically and told dispatchers he struck a guardrail at the intersection of Route 4 and Vineyard Road.
Loignon was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, evading a motor vehicle accident and following too close, according to state police.
Hajdasz said the department is investigating Loignon's conduct.
According to information from the town of Bloomfield, Loignon completed his field training program in June 2013 and began work as a full-time police officer that summer.
Loignan posted $1,000 bond and is due in Bristol Superior Court the morning of April 27.
