The car of off-duty police officer Meenawatti Chandrekha was photographed inside a police impound yard near the 106th precinct on Tuesday afternoon. The 38-year-old was arrested and charged with drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident.
According to police sources, the officer works out of a Brooklyn precinct and was driving on Liberty Avenue near 124th Street in Richmond Hill around 3 a.m. when she apparently lost control of the vehicle and smashed into several parked cars along the crowded street.
Chandrekha was not injured in the crash but was reportedly taken to Jamaica Hospital and then returned to the 106th Precinct from where she was transferred to central booking.
