Sarah Mooney, 32, of Aylmer was charged with impaired driving with more than 80 milligrams in 100 millilitres of blood on Oct. 13.

An Elgin County OPP officer pulled over a vehicle at 12:20 a.m. on Springfield Road near College Line in Malahide Township, northeast of Aylmer, after receiving a traffic complaint about a suspected impaired driver, provincial police said at the time. The driver was arrested and taken to the OPP detachment for further testing.

St. Thomas police Chief Marc Roskamp suspended Mooney, a constable under the one-year probation period, with pay following her arrest.

Mooney pleaded guilty to impaired driving during her first court appearance Thursday. She was given a one-year driving prohibition, fined $1,500 and ordered to pay a $450 surcharge, court records show.
