(UPDATED) NP police officer placed on leave pending accident investigation

A North Platte police officer has been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation of a traffic accident they were involved in.

According to Chief Daniel Hudson, in the early morning hours of April 19, officers responded to the report of a two-vehicle collision.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office says two vehicles were involved, including one driven by an off-duty officer, Sarah Jones.

LCSO says a blood test revealed Jones was over the legal limit to operate a vehicle. She was released for treatment of minor injuries. The two occupants of the other vehicle were treated for minor, non-life threatening injuries at the scene.

Police did not release any other details of the accident, other than saying Jones has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation.

The investigation will be handled by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s office.
