Just two days after police confirmed an off-duty officer had been arrested for refusing a breathalyzer, Winnipeg police Chief Danny Smyth has said another off-duty officer was arrested on a drunk driving charge earlier in the month. On Monday, Nov. 20, RCMP arrested an off-duty officer in the Headingley area, just outside Winnipeg, Smyth said at a news conference Wednesday. On Nov. 27, CBC News reported that another off-duty officer was arrested in West Kildonan on Nov. 26 after refusing a breathalyzer test. Justin Holz, 34, was charged with impaired driving causing death in connection with the collision that killed Cody Severight, 23, in October. Holz was later charged with dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving and driving with a blood-alcohol level over .08 per cent causing death.
