TOLEDO -- Another Toledo police officer has been arrested for drunken driving, marking the third such offence in the past two months.

Officer Shawn Parra, 35, was cited by Toledo Police on Thanksgiving Day for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. 

Authorities say Parra was involved in a hit and run crash early Thursday morning.  Police reports indicate the off-duty officer was driving a Jeep Cherokee south on Tremainsville Rd. when he struck a utility pole before fleeing the scene. 

Parra has been charged with OVI, failure to control a vehicle and failure to stop after an accident.
