Officer is 14-year veteran of the force who was assigned to desk duties
A 14-year Toronto police veteran has been charged with impaired driving, the service announced Monday in a press release.
The officer, Const. Michael Juma, 49, is alleged to have been off duty in his own vehicle in the early hours Monday morning when he struck a parked vehicle near Shuter and Parliament streets, the release said. The driver continued south of Parliament Street, police said, and at first did not stop for a fellow officer who tried to pull him over, the release alleges. “Eventually” the vehicle came to a stop at King and Sumach streets — about a kilometre away from the area of the parked car.He was charged with impaired driving, dangerous driving, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, failing to stop for police as well as refusing to provide a breath sample.
Juma is now under suspension but will continue to receive pay, which is required by provincial law. Despite pushback on those laws from chiefs of police, the Police Act only allows an officer’s pay to be suspended if they are convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison time.
