KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A 20-year veteran with the Kansas City police department is accused of driving while intoxicated.

The off-duty sergeant was arrested early Saturday on northbound Interstate 29 at 64th Street, according to court documents.

The sergeant has not been charged, so KCTV5 News is not releasing his name.

An official with the department said an internal investigation would not begin until the case gets through the court system. He also said what an officer does off-duty may not affect his on-duty status.
