Two RCMP officers have been charged with impaired driving in separate incidents in Manitoba.

Const. Dana Randall, 30, was arrested Friday and taken to the Thompson RCMP detachment, where he refused to provide a breath sample, according to RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Line Karpish.

Randall was kept in custody overnight in the detachment and released on a promise to appear in court in Thompson on Oct. 23.

He has been charged with impaired driving and refusing a breath sample.

Randall has been removed from active operational duties and his employment status is under internal review, Karpish said.

The charges related to an incident Friday at 2:45 a.m. when a pickup truck crossed the centre line of Cree Road in Thompson, about 740 kilometres north of Winnipeg, and collided with a taxi cab.

No one was injured in the collision. Randall was off-duty at the time.

Incident on Nelson House First Nation

Also on Friday, Const. Darcy Stevenson was formally charged with impaired driving relating to an incident a few days earlier on Nelson House First Nation.

On Sept. 29, at about 3:30 a.m., RCMP officers from the Nelson detachment were on their way to respond to a disturbance call when a Jeep coming out of a dirt trail nearly collided with the police truck.

The Jeep was stopped and a smell of alcohol was detected by the officers. The driver, identified as Stevenson, was arrested and an investigation ensued, Karpish said.

Stevenson, who was off-duty at the time of the incident, is scheduled to appear in Nelson House provincial court on Oct. 27.

He has been removed from active operational duties and placed on administrative duties pending an internal review, Karpish said.

She did not say how long the officers have been on the force.
