    Bexar County deputies arrested San Antonio Airport Police Officer Rubi Tovar Monday night on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

    Tovar, 36, was taken into custody just after 10 p.m. on the Class B misdemeanor, according to a San Antonio Police Department statement. She was off duty at the time.

    The officer, who has served on the force for one year, has been placed on administrative duty while an internal investigation plays out, according to police department officials.

    Deputies identified the driver as Tovar and reported that she was awake when they questioned her, KSAT reports. Her speech was slurred and she smelled of alcohol, according to the report cited by the station.

    Tovar posted her bond of $1,000 and was released Tuesday afternoon, according to KSAT.
