Trial starts for P.A. Police officer charged with impaired driving
A Prince Albert police officer is on trial facing an impaired driving charge stemming from an alleged incident last year.
Brett Lee Henry is facing one count of impaired driving stemming from an incident in March of 2017. Henry, a 13-year officer with the Prince Albert Police Service, was charged following an extensive police investigation that started after police received a civilian tip about an impaired driver.
Henry pleaded not guilty to the charge.
His trial started Thursday at Prince Albert Provincial Court, where Prince Albert Police Staff Sgt. Brent McDonald testified to video evidence he collected during the investigation into the allegation. Surveillance video shown in court Thursday appears to show Henry visiting three local establishments the night of the alleged incident, starting around 5:45 p.m. on March 2, 2017.
