RCMP arrest woman for impaired driving following a driving complaint
RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has arrested a woman for impaired driving following a driving complaint in Lower Sackville.
On July 26, at approximately 6:20 p.m., officers responded to a report of a possible impaired driver after a Toyota Rav4 was seen driving over a sidewalk and parking the vehicle blocking a driveway. When confronted by neighbours, the driver moved the vehicle into her own driveway.
Officers spoke with the driver and observed signs of impairment. A roadside breath sample was obtained, which resulted in a fail.
The 44-year-old Lower Sackville woman was arrested for impaired driving. She was transported to the Lower Sackville RCMP Detachment, where she provided two breath samples registering 220 mg% and 230 mg%.
She was released and will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court at a later date.
Impaired driving is a leading factor in serious collisions and remains a significant threat to public safety. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before consuming alcohol or drugs and to always choose a safe way home.
