Cedar Rapids police have launched an internal investigation after an officer allegedly drove his patrol car to a bar in Marion.
Cedar Rapids police Sgt. Cristy Hamblin says Friday that officer does not face criminal charges but has been assigned administrative duties.
The Gazette is reporting the bartender at the VIP Lounge indicated the officer was intoxicated when he entered the bar on May 5.
Someone in the bar took the officer's picture and took it to police.
Hamblin declined to identify the officer but says he's a K-9 unit officer who is allowed to take his car home.
It's the second incident involving a Cedar Rapids police officer this month. Undisclosed disciplinary action was taken against another officer after he was photographed sleeping in his patrol car.
