Penny Lancaster makes first arrest as police officer in London
10.03.2022 - 08:01 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Penny Lancaster has revealed she has made her first arrest as a police officer after pulling over a drug driving suspect.
The wife of Sir Rod Stewart started working as a special constable with the City of London Police after completing training last year.
She was on mobile patrol with colleagues when they stopped a car with two people inside.
The driver tested positive for cannabis on a roadside breath test and Penny was told to make the arrest.
The Loose Women panellist admitted she had a bit of stage fright as she nearly forgot how to read the man his rights but said her training soon kicked in. Penny, 50, took the suspect into custody and said she was pleased to achieve the milestone in her policing career.
She said: “My first arrest was a drug drive.
“There were a couple of suspects whose vehicle was pulled over and a test was taken on the side of the road which came back positive for cannabis so driving under the influence. I was given the wink and the nod by the officers that were with me.
“First of all I did get a bit of a stage struck moment where I felt all the words of the caution had left me but luckily they came into action and all my training proved important there.”
Penny said Sir Rod, 77, does worry about the dangers involved.
But added: “He’s always supportive in whatever I like to venture into.”
