A Woodstock police officer has been placed on paid administrative leave after he was arrested for drunk driving.
Kaleb McIntire, 33, of Bridgewater, had been with the department since 2020. He was arrested for suspicion of DUI on March 2 after Vermont State Police responded to a domestic disturbance on Braley Hill Road in Bridgewater around 10:54 p.m.
