Red Lake, Ont. -- A recent police RIDE checkpoint led to one of their own officers being charged in this Northwestern Ontario town.
Officials with the OPP say they set up the RIDE checkpoint on Highway 125, just west of Dellenor Road in Red Lake.
That led to the arrest of OPP Const. Caitlyn Van Straalen, a six-year veteran with the provincial force.
The officer will be restricted to non-operational duties pending her scheduled appearance in a Red Lake courtroom on June 5.
The accused faces a driving under the influence charge.
