An off-duty police officer has been charged over an incident at a wedding at a hotel in County Antrim.

It happened at the Galgorm Spa and Golf Resort, near Ballymena, on Thursday.

The officer, a man aged 30, was charged with drink-driving, disorderly behaviour and four counts of common assault.

He is expected to appear before Ballymena Magistrates' Court on 19 October.

An off-duty officer was arrested outside the venue over what police described as an unrelated matter and later released without charge.

It is understood a misconduct investigation is ongoing by the PSNI's professional standards department.

Correction 24 September 2023: In an earlier version of this story we stated that another off-duty police officer had been arrested and charged with drink-driving. That was not the case. She was released unconditionally without charge.
