A Boston police officer who was placed on administrative leave in January, was arrested Friday in connection with a January incident involving drugs in New Hampshire.

Officer Andrew Johnson, 51, of Chestnut Hill, was taken into custody by Massachusetts State Police and was released to turn himself in to New Hampshire authorities.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office says that in January, Johnson was in possession of methamphetamine and amphetamine.

Johnson became a Boston police officer in 2002.
