RCMP dealt with multiple impaired drivers last weekend
It was a hectic weekend for members of the Battleford’s RCMP. In total, the detachment responded to 249 calls ranging from domestic violence, vandalism and theft.
One statistic which stood out for RCMP Cpl. James Fenrich was the amount of impaired drivers charged in the Battlefords area over the three day period.
“Like every offence in the Criminal Code we (RCMP) take impaired driving very seriously,” Fenrich said. “We do our best to track down those who think it’s a good idea to get behind the wheel after a few drinks.”
On Friday night, a 39-year-old man was arrested and charged with multiple offences including failure to provide a breath sample, impaired operation of a motor vehicle as well as operating an unregistered vehicle while driving with a suspended licence.
