An off-duty Parsippany police officer was arrested for driving while intoxicated after running his car off the road in his hometown of Randolph, according to a news report.

John Freudenberg, 30, crashed his pick-up truck into the front yard of a Randolph home Saturday night, nj.com reported. When officers arrived on scene, they were told by Freudenberg that he was run off the road.
