Days Updated 5 hrs ago
QUEENS — An off-duty police officer was
arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated after striking a parked car
early Wednesday, the NYPD reported.
She was the third NYPD officer to be
arrested in four days.
Police Officer Salisha Alirasul, 34, refused
to take a breath test and was taken into custody about 2:15 a.m., a police
spokesman said.
The collision took place within the 103rd
Precinct, which includes Jamaica, Hollis and Lakewood, but the spokesman did
not provide an exact location.
Alirasul sustained minor injuries and was
treated at Jamaica Hospital.
Alirasul's arrest occurred one day after
Police Officer Kofi Nsafoah, 36, was arrested in Brooklyn for allegedly choking
his wife during a dispute.
On Sunday, Police Officer Brayan Terrazas,
26, was arrested in Queens for allegedly driving while intoxicated.
Both were off-duty when the incidents
reportedly occurred.
