Entwistle, who was not on duty, was pulled over by deputies with the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office.

The officer is being placed on administrative assignment pending the outcome of the CMPD Internal Affairs investigation.

“It is always disheartening when I learn that one of our officers has violated the very laws that we are sworn to uphold,” CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings said. “However, professional accountability is a priority for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and our officers are expected to maintain this standard at all times.”

The investigation is ongoing.
