Two Gloucester Township police officers have been suspended after they were both charged with drunken driving in separate incidents -- on the same day.
The incidents happened back on July 18 at the Jersey Shore.
According to authorities, Steven Lenker, 29, was arrested in Atlantic City after they say he hit a pedestrian and a parked car -- and then told police he didn’t remember what happened.
Authorities say James Ryan, 28, was arrested after driving the wrong way down a one-way street in Longport.
Ryan had a previous DWI arrest back in 2011.
Both officers are on paid leave under civil service rules.
