A 14-year veteran of the Toronto police force is facing a number of charges including impaired driving.
Toronto police say around 3:45 a.m. on March 20, an off-duty police officer was driving in the area of Shuter and Parliament streets when he struck a parked car on Shuter before continuing southbound on Parliament.
Initially, the driver failed to stop when located by police before pulling over almost two kilometres later in the area of King and Sumach streets.
Investigators say the driver refused to submit to a breathalyzer test after being placed under arrest.
Const. Michael Juma has been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, refusing a breathalyzer, impaired driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
He has been suspended with pay and is scheduled to answer to the charges in court on May 2.
