A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer was arrested this morning for driving while impaired, the department said this afternoon.
Officer Karen Dula, 27, was arrested after a traffic stop around 1:30 a.m. by a trooper with the N.C. Highway Patrol near the intersection of Seventh and McDowell streets, police said in a news release. Dula was off-duty at the time.
The department said Dula, who was hired by CMPD in September 2003, will be placed on administrative duties pending an internal investigation.
“It is unfortunate that a member of the CMPD has been arrested for driving while impaired, but we will continue to hold our officers responsible for their actions on and off-duty,” Police Chief Rodney Monroe said in the news release.

I am not saying what happened isn't wrong and that she should be punished.... But everyone makes mistakes.
She was awarded "Chief's Award for Excellence in Community Policing" in 2006-2007.... So must not be too bad.
